VANDERLAND (8) finished eighth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 5f at this track, beaten 1.3 lengths. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. EXCUSES EXCUSES (1) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at this track. Not as effective last time out when seventh over 6f at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including a win and two minor placings. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. LETHAL ENCOUNTER (6) finished seventh over 6f at this track at his most recent appearance on October 1. Makes plenty of appeal. ALL ENGLAND (4) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when 12th over 5f185yards at Wangaratta. Best figures measure up nicely. One of the chances.
