RACE FIVE
EXCEPTIONAL MACH (4) will take good benefit from his latest start when working home in good order from the 2nd line to finish with the bronze behind OUR MELS DREAM. With 3 starts back since having break he can look to fire the first shot here and from the front will take some catching.
OUR MELS DREAM (7) has bounced back in good style and has now been in the money at his past 4 with 2 of those victories. Last start from the 2nd line he worked home strongly wide out over the mile and arrive for a narrow victory. With no favours from the gate he can still challenge.
RORY MACH (5) drops back to claiming company after taking on conditioned events at his past 3 starts where he has placed in each. Only 2m from CHAPTER ONE 2 starts back he is right in the fight.
SICILIAN SLUMBER (1) found the pocket trail on Tues and used the passing lane to get within 3.5m of the winner SIR JULIANN. With good early speed he can secure a cosy trip here and has podium hopes.
SELECTIONS: EXCEPTIONAL MACH (4), OUR MELS DREAM (7), RORY MACH (5), SICILIAN SLUMBER (1)
