He settled back in the field and found the line strongly to score a half head win for Ben Melham taking his overall record to four wins from six starts with prizemoney of $273,550.
The Group I ATC Australian Derby over 2400 metres is his next goal on April 6, the race won by his sire .Dundeel in 2013.
"He's a nice horse with good upside," said Ben Melham.
"He has a lovely temperament, relaxes well and has a good turn of foot, so he has all the right attirbutes."
A $130,000 NZB Premier Sale purchase from the Little Avondale Stud draft for Ciaron Maher Bloodstock, Global Exchange runs for a partnership including China Horse Club in whose colours he runs, as well as Su-Ann Khaw, Musk Creek Farm and partners.
Bred by China Horse Club, Global Exchange is the first foal and first winner for Incredulous, a half-sister by Keep the Faith to Group II winner Faith Hill, the dam of stakes-winner Black Minx, in turn the dam of stakes-winner So Si Bon.
Incredulous was bought for $260,000 from the 2015 Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale by China Horse Club when carrying Global Exchange and was then re-sold at the 2017 Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale where she was bought by Aquis Sha Tin Synd/Blue Sky B'stock (FBAA) for $200,000.

Dundeel
Sadly for Aquis, she lost a colt foal by More Than Ready (USA) last year and was covered very late by Divine Prophet after missing to Invader.
Global Exchange is one of seven stakes-winners for Dundeel, who is tracking an impressive 11.3% stakes-winners to runners! Figures like that mark him as an exceptional sire for the future and what we've seen so far is, dare I say it, reminiscent of a young Zabeel.
