Strong tempo with West Cork and Oakfield Eagle leading the way over Ace's In Bloom. ARTIFACTX (3) has never won at the mile but has been racing as though he's crying out for it. Fitter for three runs back, winding up strongly when the race is over to place the last two. Should be finding the line strongly and happy to place him on top. He's the one to beat. DRAGON SONG (9) has been going along better than the form suggests and is overdue for a win. This suits. DECIMUS (1) is another long overdue for a win and going along well without winning. Goes well here and will be tough to stop with any luck from the gate. ACE'S IN BLOOM (12) is fitter for two runs in and can give a sight. SUGGESTED PLAY: Artifactx gets chance.
