ENVENOMATE (6) is a distance specialist who missed the placings two runs back then didn't feature last start when 4 lengths away in fifth over 6½f at Darwin. Has raced two times at this course and distance and is yet to be beaten. The engagement of Jade Hampson is a positive move. Has the ability to take this out. EXCUSES EXCUSES (1) is putting together some solid results. Finished second at this track two starts back then landed the prize by 1.5 lengths as favourite last time out over 5f at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. ANGELLUCCIS (8) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing fifth and beaten 5.5 lengths starting at 17/2. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. SQUARE CUT (2) finished second last time over 6f at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Has a good record at this course and distance, including a win and three minor placings. Must be respected.
