ECHO ROAD (2) scored by 1.5 lengths last start over this journey at this track (Dirt). Has a good record at this trip with two wins and two minor placings. Top chance. CALTHA (6) was a gutsy winner last time over 1207m at this track (Dirt), scoring by 2.75 lengths to make it two wins in a row. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Expecting a bold showing. MT D'ORO (3) was in the firing line on the turn and finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1207m at this track (Dirt), beaten 6 lengths. Meets some better types this time but a big run will not surprise. ONACOUNTA (5) had been performing well until racing below her best last time when fifth over 1106m at Fairmount Park (Dirt). Should camp just off the leaders. Sure to be thereabouts.
