OVERVIEW: DON’T NEED AN EXCUSE (6) is a former South Australian pacer, which had a short stint in New South Wales and joins trainer Lisa Miles. He finished fifth (2.5m) in the August Gift Final at Group 3 level two starts ago so he should appreciate this grade. BIGJIMVALENTINE (3) is stepping up in class but he has won three of his past four starts and looked impressive at Yarra Valley last week where he led throughout and finished off in a slick final half of 56.1 seconds. ART OF SHENG LI (11) is resuming since December but he has been performing nicely at the trials, his latest effort being a strong fourth behind Notnegotiable at Melton. He is awkwardly drawn but has the ability to show up. TOBY OGARA (12) will appreciate a drop back in class having raced at Metropolitan level several times recently. He possesses a powerful finishing burst and is capable of improving on his numerical form. MYRNIONG IS AWAY (10) is backing up quickly from her effort at Geelong on Wednesday but she has returned from a spell in peak form and is worth thought in an open betting event.

Race comment
OVERVIEW: DON’T NEED AN EXCUSE (6) is a former South Australian pacer, which had a short stint in New South Wales and joins trainer Lisa Miles. He finished fifth (2.5m) in the August Gift Final at Group 3 level two starts ago so he should appreciate this grade. BIGJIMVALENTINE (3) is stepping up in class but he has won three of his past four starts and looked impressive at Yarra Valley last week where he led throughout and finished off in a slick final half of 56.1 seconds. ART OF SHENG LI (11) is resuming since December but he has been performing nicely at the trials, his latest effort being a strong fourth behind Notnegotiable at Melton. He is awkwardly drawn but has the ability to show up. TOBY OGARA (12) will appreciate a drop back in class having raced at Metropolitan level several times recently. He possesses a powerful finishing burst and is capable of improving on his numerical form. MYRNIONG IS AWAY (10) is backing up quickly from her effort at Geelong on Wednesday but she has returned from a spell in peak form and is worth thought in an open betting event.

Race comment
OVERVIEW: DON’T NEED AN EXCUSE (6) is a former South Australian pacer, which had a short stint in New South Wales and joins trainer Lisa Miles. He finished fifth (2.5m) in the August Gift Final at Group 3 level two starts ago so he should appreciate this grade. BIGJIMVALENTINE (3) is stepping up in class but he has won three of his past four starts and looked impressive at Yarra Valley last week where he led throughout and finished off in a slick final half of 56.1 seconds. ART OF SHENG LI (11) is resuming since December but he has been performing nicely at the trials, his latest effort being a strong fourth behind Notnegotiable at Melton. He is awkwardly drawn but has the ability to show up. TOBY OGARA (12) will appreciate a drop back in class having raced at Metropolitan level several times recently. He possesses a powerful finishing burst and is capable of improving on his numerical form. MYRNIONG IS AWAY (10) is backing up quickly from her effort at Geelong on Wednesday but she has returned from a spell in peak form and is worth thought in an open betting event.

Race comment
OVERVIEW: DON’T NEED AN EXCUSE (6) is a former South Australian pacer, which had a short stint in New South Wales and joins trainer Lisa Miles. He finished fifth (2.5m) in the August Gift Final at Group 3 level two starts ago so he should appreciate this grade. BIGJIMVALENTINE (3) is stepping up in class but he has won three of his past four starts and looked impressive at Yarra Valley last week where he led throughout and finished off in a slick final half of 56.1 seconds. ART OF SHENG LI (11) is resuming since December but he has been performing nicely at the trials, his latest effort being a strong fourth behind Notnegotiable at Melton. He is awkwardly drawn but has the ability to show up. TOBY OGARA (12) will appreciate a drop back in class having raced at Metropolitan level several times recently. He possesses a powerful finishing burst and is capable of improving on his numerical form. MYRNIONG IS AWAY (10) is backing up quickly from her effort at Geelong on Wednesday but she has returned from a spell in peak form and is worth thought in an open betting event. EARLY SPEED: 3 (possible leader), 7 RATINGS: 3,6/ 11/ 12/ 10/ 2,4/ 1,7
