DECANA is hard to oppose in this. She beat Neighbourhood three lengths with Calculating further behind over track and trip on her return to action and Hughie Morrison's mare can follow-up. Blazing Desert was in good form on the Polytrack earlier this year but has yet to race on this surface while Xpress Maite is back on a winning mark but has a bit to prove over today's longer trip. Kingaroo arrives out of sorts but is a multiple course winner over shorter distances and makes more appeal than Fine Kingdom.
