Just an even tempo anticipated. SYCAMORE (6) has caught the eye in both runs for the new stable and should be right at her peak third up. Key booking with Collett aboard and is expected to settle closer from the inside draw. Looks hard to beat. DECISIVE LASS (7) is third-up and has more to offer. Was plain at Hawkesbury last time (vet cleared), but resumed in good order and strips fitter. She comes right into play after scratchings. ATOMIC FORTY SEVEN (8) drops back to more suitable company and expect a much improved run. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Sycamore.
