DOUBLE ECHO (5) finished 5.5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1207m at this track after being in the firing line on the corner two weeks ago. Steps up in distance today. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Best form puts him right in this. ABSAROKA (3) showed good early dash when resuming last start and held on well to finish 3.5 lengths back in third over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Likely improver with strong prospects. SEVENTEEN BLACK (6) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on April 8, finishing fourth and beaten 12 lengths over 1609m at Turf Paradise (Dirt). Comes here with definite top-three claims. MASH ON THE GAS (2) finished eighth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1673m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths. Nicely placed to maintain the form.
