Moderate pace only with Show County leading San Marino. CONCORDIA WIND (7) resumes and was good fresh on the Kenso last campaign off a very long break. Not as lengthy in-between spells now and has been readied with two quiet trials. Is proven on a wet deck and gets the key booking of McDonald. Looks the one. ROUSSILLON (3) also returns and comes right into calculations on the back of some key scratchings. Has run well here without winning and does boast a win on the rain affected. Suspect the stable have a better hold on him now in his second prep under them. XPRESSO (5) has a fitness edge, though was far from his best last time. Hasn't won for a long time but does boast peaks that measure up. TENDERIZE (4) drops back in trip off 40 days in-between and is much better than his last two suggests. Not forgetting. SUGGESTED PLAY: Concordia Wind to win.
