Many in with chances including Nowator, Papua, Amadeus and Danish Decorum with the vote going to the last named. Evan Williams has his string in fine form and Danish Decorum has been nothing but consistant with a win under his belt on his seasonal reapperance last time out over course and distance when beating reopposer Papua. Although the handicapper has taken note he will improve for the run and prove difficult to beat. Nowator comes from another in form yard and scored at Perth on his come back run. Again he has more to do here but has to be respected. Amadeus has no weight to carry and comes here on the back of a decent run when finishing second to Miss Lehmen at Newto Abbot last time out so is worth noting in the market. But for the winner we return to Danish Decorum.
