LA FAMOSA VAQUERA (1) has been kept fresh since finishing fourth over 1f180yards at this track (Dirt) five weeks ago. Was a determined winner two starts back. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Best figures should see her run well. THREES COMPANY (6) recorded a strong on-pace win here last time by 0.1 lengths over 1f80yards. Has a good record here at this journey with three wins and three minor placings from nine starts. A bold showing is likely. TRAVEL AFAR (3) looks close to a win, finishing in the placings at her last couple of runs including a second most recently over 1f130yards at this track (Dirt) when beaten 0.3 lengths. Won't get a better chance. ECSTATIK (5) was strongly fancied when resuming last start but was beaten 3.5 lengths into sixth over 1f130yards at this track (Dirt). Has a decent second up record. Likely improver.
