ESCAPE MISSION (4) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 1.5 lengths over 5½f at this track (Dirt) as favourite. That continued the solid form this campaign, with two wins from four starts. Leading player again. TOMMY THE TORCH (9) was always well out of his ground when 9 lengths from the winner in ninth over 6f at this track last start, a less impressive effort than his sixth at Penn National the run before. Finds the right race this time and can get the job done. FIRE DOWN BELOW (2) raced on the speed and kept going to score by half a length last time out over 6f at this track (Dirt). Drawn to take a nice trail just off the speed. In a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort. MORTGAGE RATE (10) comes here following a win over 6f at this track two weeks ago, getting home by 2.5 lengths. Has solid form at this track, scoring on three occasions from eight starts. Capable of playing a big role.
