BUSINESS IN HEAVEN (9) is looking for further success after taking out a feature at his latest appearance over 1740m at Riverina Paceway, scoring by 3 metres. Another win is on the cards. BAD HABITS (4) resumes here after closing his last prep with a fourth at Menangle on August 11. Expected to run well while fresh. HEZA DOOZIE (5) is on the radar after his last-start sixth over 2030m at Newcastle two weeks ago. FREEDOM ART (6) was not beaten far last start when second over 2125m at Penrith. Ready to peak third-up from a spell and must be included.
