GOLD DECREE (7) returns and makes his stable debut for the McVicar stable. Showed positive signs in Vic without breaking through and looks to have found thin maiden to kick things off for the new stable. Fitter for a recent jumpout and draws well. Bold showing anticipated. PONTE ARCOBALENO (8) returns and has been readied with a trio of solid jumpouts. Kicked off last prep in good order, finding the frame in his first five runs back. Draws to be handy from the inside and is expected to make his presence felt. COORANGA (4) was well supported on debut but never really looked likely after getting a long way back. Had trialled well prior to his first start, so willing to forgive with McDougall sticking, FIRE CHAT (6) was below his best last time in town when dropping out quickly in the lane. His two runs prior were full of merit, so keeping safe.
