UKIYO (3) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 6 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1200m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. EL GRAN TORNADO (2) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 8 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1200m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. LAVANDA HOME (4) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing sixth and beaten 7 lengths starting at $7. Finds a nice race and can atone. MANDIOKA (1) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 19 lengths into seventh. Nicely placed to find some form.
