In depth

Verdict

This looks a moderate affair, and Deco Star can take the spoils with a repeat of his improved effort at Yarmouth recently. The fact that he has since disappointed at Windsor tempers enthusiasm, but he raced quite keenly on that occasion an if he settles better today he could be good enough. Desert City faces easier opposition today, and has some reasonable form this season so looks the obvious alternative.
