Plenty of pace with Above The Law and Precinct leading from Decalogue. Scratchings rip away some of the depth in the morning and give us a clearer top set of chances. ABOVE THE LAW (3) ploughed through the heavy (10) going on debut before being collared late over 1200m at Kembla Grange. Stable rider hops on for this and looks suited out to the 1400m. Leading prospect. PRECINCT (5) well-bred Savabeel mare who knocked up late on debut over this trip at Kembla Grange. Gets map favours and will appreciate the rain affected going. O'SHEAMUS (11) handy gelding resuming. Took good ground off Beadman on debut when coming from well back to run fourth over 1250m at Newcastle last April. Fitted with the two soft trials and no shock to see him take this out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Above The Law can win this.
