Abundant pace from Beyond The Wall, Orkney Lad and Dashing Diva vying for the lead with Bondi Business on their backs. BONDI BUSINESS (3) has been off the scene for a while, but he posted a strong relative number here on debut and resumes today for the new stable owning a comfortable Lark Hill trial win. He has the talent and will be naturally improved. DASHING DIVA (14) wasn't beaten far at Belmont on debut and resumes owning a Belmont trial win. Draws awkwardly but sits at the bottom of the handicap and she will have come on..SWINGMAN (10) was tried at Stake level on debut and has trialled well for the return. Maps well and a bold run is likely. PROFOUND BENEFIT (1) rates well but draws wide and gives away starts. There was a stack of merit in his effort here last time, and he's a chance if things go his way. BEYOND THE WALL (2) has been knocking on the door, but the longer sprint is a query. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bondi Business appeals most.
