CITY SELECTIONS In an open race the marginal preference is for DUTCH DECOY, who was only beaten a neck off this mark when finishing third over 7f here a couple of weeks ago. The unexposed Endured was not disgraced on his handicap debut here last time and he may have more to offer this evening. Others who merit consideration are Excel Power, Lafan and Starry Eyes.
