Strong early pace with West Cork crossing from wide out. The well-related WEST CORK (6) (half to G1 winner Qafila) was a touch disappointing last time out but the form prior was full of merit. Has placed three from five around this circuit and looks ready to bounce back to his best. RECANATI (4) is knocking on the door of another victory with three consecutive placings including a close-up runner-up finish over this course and distance at the latest effort. Has to be included. WATERMELON (5) strips fitter second-up from the break and draws well in gate two. Top-three contender on best form. NAILS AND PRIDE (8) best of the rest while fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: West Cork to return to the winners' stall.
