Verdict

NORTHERN DECREE (5) has been knocking on the door of another victory with consecutive runner-up finishes and strikes a very winnable contest here. Does boast a win over this track and trip and should be rock-hard fit for this. Rates the testing material. YET HE MOVES (2) has been right there in all three runs this preparation and is a two-time winner around this circuit. Looms as the main danger. Former Kiwi SPORTING CHANCE (3) hasn't been too far off them in all three runs since joining the Bruce barn and has saluted on all going. Top-three conveyance. SUPER DUCK (4) should be able to sit up on speed from the low draw and will give backers a sight with the 7lbs claim. EXPECTANT (8) has remarkably hit the top-five at his past 14 outings and is a must for the multiples from the inside alley.
