Stake: $15,498

DECIMATE (5) is a five-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the Tom Wenzel barn. Hasn't raced since finishing ninth at Golden Gate Fields (Synthetic) five months ago. Not seen at the trials but looks nicely placed. Can return in winning form. ARTHUR SPOONER (6) finished fourth two runs back at this track (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 2 lengths as favourite after being in the firing line on the turn over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. TAINO HOUSE (4) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when sixth and beaten 7 lengths over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Finds a suitable assignment and can find winning form. PICK A LANE FRANK (3) showed good early dash when resuming last start and held on well to finish 2 lengths back in second over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Placed to advantage so expect a forward showing.
