RACE FOUR
EXCEPTIONAL MACH (3) was a tough winner from gate 7 at AP over the 2138m trip 3 starts back when sent forward and taking control. Last start he was working home well from the 2nd line to grab the silver behind IMA MORVEN LAD. From this gate he can take control and looks hard to stop.
RORY MACH (2) has been freshened since his last win when sticking to the pegs and following the short-cuts to score a nice win. Luckless the start prior when probing for a gap, he can look to hustle early to get across to the pegs and then release for the cosy trip in readiness for the sniper shot.
STIRLING WILLIAM (5) will strip fitter from his latest run when returning after a 7 week gap between runs. Only beaten a nose 2 starts back he did some work when returning and he might need to roll the sleeves again here.
COMPLY OR DIE (4) was sent forward to the breeze after starting from the 2nd line last start and the effort told when he faded late. That followed successive wins here and back to the front line helps.
SELECTIONS: EXCEPTIONAL MACH (3), RORY MACH (2), STIRLING WILLIAM (5), COMPLY OR DIE (4)
