RACE FOUR
This is one of the strongest qualifiers for some time and with plenty of speed on the front line should ensure a slippery tempo. Resuming from a let-up, WILL THE WIZARD (9) has not been seen since scoring a strong win in 3YO company when leading throughout over the middle distance. That followed a big win from the 2nd line in the JC McMullen and he can strike again fresh.
THE FORTUNATE SON (5) loves to roll in front and from the gate he looks set to again press forward to take up the lamp lighting duties. Too strong in front here 2 starts back, he was sent to the post as fav last time when gunned down in the closing stages by LA PLAYER. He will be gripping on again.
VIENNA BOY (1) settled in the 1x1 trail last start and was strong to the line when splitting LA PLAYER and THE FORTUNATE SON. With the benefit of the good alley, he can be probing for space to offer.
B MAC C (3) landed a tough gate last start and after noting was available on the front end from gate 6, drifted all the way back. Attacking the line strongly in the closing stages, if he can limit the early burn, he can chime in here.
SELECTIONS: WILL THE WIZARD (9), THE FORTUNATE SON (5), VIENNA BOY (1), B MAC C (3)
SUGGESTED BET: WILL THE WIZARD (9) to win
