RACE THREE
The second of the two Band 4-2 events and this one is a much stronger division across the board. Faced with the 10m tape last week, MACH DA VINCI (10) loomed ominously at the top of the stretch but could not finish them off. Runner-up to BLACKSADANCE three starts back, a drop back to this grade can see him bounce back to winning form.
SUMOMENTSOMEWHERE (7) pressed on from gate 5 here last week and eventually worked to the front with 900m to travel and once in control, powered clear to an impressive 13m margin in slick time. Game in defeat when parked the start prior, the gate makes it a tough ask, but his will fight.
WARFARE (2) has been runner-up at his past three in succession, the latest from a 20m impost when just 2m from L L COOL J. Beaten a neck two runs back, he can look to settle handy to chime in.
LORD ZARIAS (5) is the first emergency for the Flashing Red but will be a threat if taking his place in this line up. Chasing a hat-trick last start when 3m from the winner in a new track record for the 2138 stand, he has claims.
SELECTIONS: MACH DA VINCI (10), SUMOMENTSOMEWHERE (7), WARFARE (2), LORD ZARIAS (5)
SUGGESTED BET: MACH DA VINCI (10) to win
