MACH ONE has obvious claims of following last week’s course and distance victory with another success given he beat the re-opposing Muqarred easily enough with Captain Revelation and Medici Moon further behind. The latter ran a shocker last time considering he beat Red Touch when scoring over track and trip earlier while Mama Africa finally opened her account with a maiden win over 7f here having had 21 previous starts. The remaining pair are hard to fancy.
