LIO CORDILLERANO (3) finished 5.5 lengths adrift in sixth last time at this track in a disappointing performance. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. EL SALVADOR (4) missed the placings two runs back then didn't feature last start when 15 lengths away in 13th over 1100m at this track. Nicely placed to take this out. OPERETA DE PLAZA (6) started at $4.70 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 5 lengths at this track over 1100m. Hard to beat in this suitable race. CIAO JUANITA (5) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1100m at this track, beaten 5 lengths into fourth. Well placed to turn things around.
