Solid tempo likely from the outset with Top Arctic, Time To Chat and Friday At Five prominent. Competitive. POWERBOUND (7) raced favourite and belted them at Geelong this grade by 3.5L over 1512m. Raced in a 70 at Sale following and didn't have the best of it. Maps for a soft run in easier and can bounce back. TIME TO CHAT (15) has raced at Listed and Group level and will be better for the solid effort at Bendigo first up. She has plenty up her sleeve and it's hard to risk the premier barn. TOP ARCTIC (8) won this grade easily at Ballarat and then led at Geelong and just missed. Has been kept on the fresh side and is a chance with average luck pushing forward. GRAND SAGE (4) was back to his best winning at Bendigo this level. Keeps John Allen and finally draws an inside gate. He's a chance as well. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Powerbound.
