NEBRASKA finished second over track and trip a fortnight ago when resuming after a rest, during which he was gelded. He should have more to offer and will not need to improve much to go one better. LANCE ALOT is closely matched on that form and is also open to improvement in first-time blinkers. Returning MAJOR ARCANA is best judged on his promising debut effort over 1200m. He is unexposed and likely to improve on his reappearance so warrants respect. LANNYBOY (gelded), KAMBATI and BRIGITTE ANNE (engaged to run at earlier meeting) have shown enough to be competitive. Watch newcomer TRIP OF FAITH.
