LANTAU ISLAND (4) was comfortably accounted for when ninth last time out over 1200m at this track, beaten 4 lengths after being in contention on the corner. That followed a win at Eagle Farm at the previous outing. Ideally placed and is sure to make amends. ALPHA BRAVO (3) was in the money two starts back at Gold Coast but was unable to repeat the effort last time when 12th, beaten 5 lengths, at Gold Coast over 1200m. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he can find the winners' list. BRAVELY (2) last appeared when he finished 15th over 1600m at Newcastle on November 16. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. SARATOGA POWER (5) has been freshened since finishing seventh over 1000m at Scone. Fitness level should be good following a subsequent Tamworth trial. Comes here with each-way claims.
