MR BUSINESS (2) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish 3.5 lengths back in fourth over 1408m at this track (Turf). Well placed and should be tough to rein in. CASCABEL (3) has a moderate winning strike-rate but did a good job when returning from a break last time at this track (Turf), finishing fourth and only 2 lengths from the winner at the end of 1006m after being in contention on the bend. Meets some better types this time but a big run is on the cards. MY BALBOA (4) was in the firing line on the turn and finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1006m at this track (Turf), beaten half a length. Goes up a rung or two but he is up to the task. ONE STEP BEYOND (8) ran below expectations last time at this track (Dirt), finishing fifth and beaten 9 lengths. Nicely placed to turn things around.

Most recently tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 8 at this track on July 21 over 1207m, 9 len behind Ante Antman with 51.5kg at $3.20. Before that 2nd in a small field at Mountaineer Park on July 7 over 1207m, nose behind Rhodes with 54.5kg at $6.70. Cannot be ruled out despite a moderate effort last time.
