Decalogue to take charge ahead of Hells Spirit at a good tempo. DECALOGUE (1) was scratched from last week's 2500m final for this and it doesn't look a bad move given the late speed he showed to win last start over this trip at Flemington. He was well ridden there but came right away and should get a very easy time of it up on speed again. PADDYPIE (7) might be the biggest danger. He won very well at Donald two back and was heavily supported at Flemington last start and kept grinding away for third. Off that, 2000m should be no issue and he can hold the leader's back from barrier 1. Stablemate DIRNASEER (2) was behind him at Flemington but ran well for fourth, he's bred to stay a trip and might be able to settle a touch closer from the good draw. ORLOVA (6) has won two on the bounce in nice style in SA, she backs up and can run well. OUR CHIEF (3) had every hope behind Decalogue last time but is in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Decalogue & Paddypie to battle it out.
