GOING: N

BENSTUD STANDARDBREDS PACE 2190m

Track: GOOD      

IM ALL BUSINESS (8) broke when resuming in a Nutrien Classic heat then came from this row and missed by just a head as favourite last start at Kilmore. Draws for a nice trail and should be close to his peak now so can go one better. LEONARD (2) is building in fitness and has the hoof on the till after seconds in his last two outings, missing by a head at his latest appearance at Swan Hill. Has the benefit of a lower draw. Primary contender. CAPITALISM (5) is on the radar after a string of top-four finishes including a third from this barrier at Melton two back. FUEGO CRUZADO (1) had this draw when he placed two back at Bendigo. Go well.
