MADIYYA (11) closed off strongly last start to get up for second, beaten 0.8 lengths, over 6f at Pakenham on debut. Sure to go well again. FAUCI (16) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6f at Pakenham, beaten 2 lengths. Enjoys a drop in grade so he can bounce back. IL CIELO (4) could only manage 11th on debut then improved last start but found one better over 7¼f at Geelong, beaten a nose. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. KOONDAKAARA (5) was in the firing line on the corner and finished second last start over 7f20yards at this track, beaten a long neck. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
