STANDER put in his best effort so far when finishing a well held second on heavy ground at Ffos Las last time out. The selection was making his handicap debut on that occasion but showed enough to suggest that he can take a handicap of this nature. John McConnell's charge can be given most to do by Stardrifter who ran well here earlier in the season while the consistent Highway Robber can claim third in this concluding contest.
