LOOKS THE BUSINESS is given the vote to land the finale at the expense of Dazzling Begum and Sand Repeal. The selection finished an eye catching second of ten at Bath last time out and although he has been penalised with two more pounds to carry this time around he still looks nicely treated and if recapturing his form he should be in the shake up once again. Dazzling Begum won a little race at Folkestone on her penultimate outing and was not discredited at the same venue last time out and another bold run can be expected. Sand Repeal has dropped to a mark that gives him a chance. He was not beaten far at this venue on his penultimate outing and back at the same track he ought to be noted ion the betting market. Looks The Business is the form horse and is therefore difficult to oppose in the finale.
