Moderate tempo expected with Magnetic Chess likely to find the front over Break The Taboo and Lightning Express. MAGNETIC CHESS (2) battled away fairly well when fourth at Geelong over 1347m last time out, and he will don the blinkers for the first time, which should allow him to settle much closer from the outset. John Allen is a positive jockey change, and the pair merit healthy respect. On top. IMMINENT STORM (7) returned with a strong third over 1200m here, beaten only by 2 lengths, and he should take plenty of improvement from that run. He usually improves with racing, and another good effort can be expected, especially with the aid of the pole position. BREAK THE TABOO (9) was never a factor over 1400m here last time out on a track that was too heavy for her, but her better form is good enough for this. Stick with her on a slightly firmer surface. CAPTAIN REDBEARD (4) was impressive breaking his maiden easily over 1400m here nearly 3 weeks ago, and he is good enough to take the next step immediately. PRINCE MAGNETITE (6) has been freshened up, and should be kept safe in all top 4 combos. SUGGESTED PLAY: Magnetic Chess can win this.
