This looks less competitive than the race FIRST IN COMMAND won over C&D a week ago when he beat Argentine. He's fancied to defy a penalty and go in again as he recorded a much faster time than the maiden won by Ladydolly over track and trip earlier this month. She should go close again now she's off the mark, however, while Inde Country was only beaten a length the last time he raced over C&D and is 2lb lower today. Polytrack winner Prigsnov Dancer has been well beaten in previous starts on this surface, but The Magic Of Rio could make the frame.
