Verdict

Plenty of these with upside. THE LITTLE BAY (4) has the score on the board though having finished runner-up in open class latest. Well placed here and will go close with a repeat of that figure. NANDI CLAN (6) resumed over 6f and flashed home to finish a close-up fifth. Fitter and extra trip a plus. FUEL ON THE FIRE (1) returned from a break with a strong on pace win off a wide draw. Fitter again and is a progressive type who can measure up. SH'BOURNE POWER (2) finished off last preparation winning posting a big 4.5 len win. Has upside and can go close here fresh. NATALDI (7) resumed with a determined win and can go on with it.
