Moderate pace only with Dulcet leading One Thing Counts. It's hard to knock the form of OUT OF LUCK (3) who has three wins and two placings from five starts this time in work and winning rider Wiggins reunites in the saddle. Has a win and a placing from two starts at this start and should be right there when the whips are cracking. DARLING CLEMENTINE (4) is yet to miss the top-four in eight career outings and doesn't know how to put in a poor one. Expecting another positive performance. ONE THING COUNTS (2) has been just behind the placings in all three runs this campaign and will be ready to peak now fourth run in. Top-three aspirations. PEAKING TOM (7) saves his best form for his home circuit here and may earn some minor money. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Out Of Luck.
