NAMANDU (7) did little and finished 9 lengths from the winner in eighth over 1100m at this track last start, a less impressive effort than his fifth at this track the run before. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. DALE LIKE (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths into fourth. Finds an easier assignment and can find winning form. LA SALCHI (5) turned in a fine effort to win by 4 lengths at today's track and distance last start in a much improved run. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. MIPIPO (11) is a last-start winner a week ago, scoring by 2.75 lengths over 1100m at this track. Has solid credentials.
