MUNECO DASH (3) produced a reasonable effort when third last start over 1100m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Likely improver with strong prospects. LIO CORDILLERANO (4) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track, finishing second and only 2.25 lengths from the winner at the end of 1100m. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. XENOTES (8) drew wide last time and was safely held when fifth over this track and trip. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Will be in this for a long way. BONE LESS (9) did a great job to score by half a length over today's course and distance last start in a much improved run. Finds the right race and can get the job done again.
