WHITE SAND (7) did a great job to score by 4.5 lengths over today's course and distance last start in a much improved run. Nicely placed to keep the ball rolling. NAMANDU (13) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 1.3 lengths over 1100m at this track. That continued the good form this campaign, with two wins from six starts. Big chance once again. SALADO (8) could only manage sixth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1100m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. EL OPORTUNO (2) was racing well without winning, finishing in the money on two consecutive occasions, before finishing seventh last time out over 1100m at this track. Drawn to enjoy a good run on the speed. One of the better hopes.
