Verdict

ALL BUSINESS (3) resumes. She's a relatively consistent mare who was racing in better company last preparation in town. She handles heavy ground well and looks nicely placed this class. HOTEI SENSHI (5) is a progressive sort who resumes having won well on debut before starting favourite at Sale and battling into a distant 2nd. He can improve again this time around. POWERBOUND (1) won well fresh at Ballarat on heavy ground when coming from off the speed, he looks to have come back better than ever and must be respected. MAGNETIC CHESS (8) was a dominant winner fresh at Mt Gambier and profiles as an improver.
