DALE LIKE (7) finished 1.3 lengths from the winner in fifth last start over 1100m at this track, an improvement on his 11th at this track the run before. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is right in contention. LIO CORDILLERANO (1) finished 5.5 lengths away in sixth last time out over 1100m at this track a week-and-a-half ago. Steps up in journey today. Likely to go forward from a nice draw. Will prove tough to beat. MIYAGI (9) had been in great form winning two on end before missing the frame last time when fifth over 1400m at this track. Should be prominent from the outset. Sure to be competitive. NEW DAY (11) failed to live up to market expectations last start when out of the placings over 1200m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time.
