Speed assured from Magnique, Let's Talk and Define Beautiful pressing on ahead of Overdrive. BASSETT HOUND (7) threatened in his debut campaign but finally put it all together first-up when winning by 3.9L over 1100m at Ascot. He looks an exciting gelding on the rise and he strikes a very winnable race now second-up. Can sit much closer this time around and land the knockout blow again. MAGNIQUE (1) disappointed first-up after he trialled well behind Long Service Leaf coming into that effort. Riordan's claim comes in handy and this looks to set up nicely for her. Expecting a much better effort now with the fresh run out of the way. OVERDRIVE (3) won a trial coming in before missing over this course and distance in a CL3 on resumption. She's a second-up winner in the past and Parnham sticks with her. Can go one better this time around. DEFINE BEAUTIFUL (4) can resume on a positive note with the booking of Pike is a good push for her chances. KING'S DRAMA (5) won't be far away on recent efforts. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bassett Hound can go on with the job.
