Excelling Oscar is a course and distance winner but turned in a poor effort here last time. HANA LINA posted her best effort so far when a close-up third at Kempton recently and a chance is taken she handles the surface given her trainer's excellent strike rate at the track. Miss Minuty and Let Right Be Done are others to consider and make more appeal than the Fahey-trained pair Marsoomah and Never Easy, who have shown little so far.
