The trio Decanted, Highland George and Squagaga will set a strong tempo. ORTHIE'S BOYS (1) finished 4 lengths from the winner in sixth last start over 1400m at Morphettville Parks, an improvement on his seventh at this track the run before. Finds an easier assignment and can turn things around. DECANTED (4) could only manage sixth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1200m at Murtoa, beaten a neck. Faces an easier assignment so he is perfectly placed to score. STYLISH SPARKLE (5) was safely held when resuming from a spell behind Cavalry Girl in the Listed Lightning Stakes at Morphettville. Beaten almost 10 lengths there but this is tiers easier than that. BAKERSBEND (2) is resuming from a spell of eight months and having his first run for the Brent Stanley yard. Was in the placings when first-up from a spell last campaign at Donald over 1200m, so warrants consideration. SUGGESTED PLAY: Orthie's Boys to win.
