EXCELLENT ARTIST (1) turned in a fine effort to score by almost a length at this track and distance when first-up from a spell last start. Perfectly placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. ALPACOR (6) finds it hard to win but left a good impression last time out when beaten by just a head into third over 1600m at this track. Should be prominent from the outset. Expecting a bold showing. EL CUMBIANCHERO (3) turned in a fine effort to score by a nose at today's course and distance when first-up from a layoff last start. Taking on a better line-up this time but he can get the job done. RACHADO (2) is fresh from a spell of five months and did hit the frame when last resuming at this track over 1400m. In a different yard now, so monitor the market moves.
