Star Decorum and Alpha Street will press forward in a keen battle for the lead. STAR DECORUM (8) doesn't win out of turn but bounced back to somewhere near her best here last time when beaten narrowly. Has trialled well in between and can go one better under fresh legs. SACRED CHORD (1) is mixing his form but boasts peaks that measure up. Backs up quickly and gets his chance to break a long run of outs. DARRA LINEN (4) improved sharply last start at Horsham when closing strongly to score by a length. Drops back in trip off a 60-day freshen and is worth watching for late, if they overdo it in front. SMOKIN' EYES (7) struggled last time but was solid at Oakbank the start prior. Has claims on best figures. Keeping safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Star Decorum.
