DECRYPTING GOLD (3) made it back-to-back wins when successful last start over 7f at this track, getting home by a long neck. Winning rider Jackson Murphy retains the mount. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he deserves plenty of thought. CHOQUANT (4) is yet to fill a placing in two runs since resuming from a lay-off, the latest when seventh over 7f at this track. Will strip fitter and looks the main danger. VANCOUVER BAY (2) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when third at this track over 7f, beaten 1.5 lengths. Should be at his peak now. Is going well this campaign, recording a win and two minor placings from four starts. Capable of going well. BETTA AL (5) produced another moderate effort last start when 8 lengths from the winner in fifth over 7f at Cairns. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
