EXECUTIVE STRESS (2) missed a nose here and then led at Doomben beaten just 0.6L. He will use an inside gate and the 2kg claim is handy. Tough to beat in country grade. LIETUVA (4) improved again narrowly beaten at Ipswich despite losing a plate. Races forward and draws to advantage. Peaks and is ready to win. CASROCK (7) comes out of the same race and it was a tough effort beaten 1L. Raced favourite in that and can sit forward here. Worth following up. UNDER THE PALAIS (6) just missed in that contest finding the line well. Fitter again but has an awkward gate.
