Strong early tempo with Decalogue and Lilac Girl leading the way. ALMAAZ (4) spiked her figures third-up, beaten a short-head over 1500m at Rosehill. Settled midfield and knuckled down strongly. Has an inside gate and JMac stays aboard. Comes back to the provincials and she can go one better. THINK ITZ YOU (6) fought on for second last start over 1600m at Warwick Farm, making it two minor placings in a row. Maps for a soft run and Tommy Berry is reunited. Rates to go close. LILAC GIRL (10) resumed much improved beaten a half-length over 1400m when expected to need it. Sits down in the weights and will race forward. Fitter and she's sure to give a sight. IRON LEGEND (7) also resumed improved beaten 1.4L over 1500m at Hawkesbury and then got too far back at Warwick Farm. Kerrin McEvoy takes over from the 3kg apprentice and he's capable of making the finish. DECALOGUE (3) has more to give second-up and keep well onside with Lloyd going aboard. SUGGESTED PLAY: Almaaz to win.
