ESCOVEDO (6) scored by 2.5 lengths when resuming last start at this track (Dirt) over this distance after she was in the firing line on the bend. Has a very good record over today's journey with three wins from six starts. Has a high cruising speed. Among the leading chances. COOKIN THE BOOKS (8) built on a nice second two starts back at this track (Dirt) with success as public elect over 1207m at this track (Dirt) a month ago, getting home by a nose. Meets some better types this time but another big run will not surprise. INTO GOLDEN ROAD (3) stuck on well when resuming last start to finish third over 1207m at this track (Dirt) after showing good early speed. Placed to advantage so expect a big run. LAST GASP (5) was safely held when fourth last time out over 1207m at this track, beaten 5 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
