Beautifully placed and is sure to be there at the finish. DUSTEM TOO (8) was handy on straightening and went on to finish third last start over 1106m at this track (Dirt), beaten 1.3 lengths. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MISCHIEVOUS BEV (7) is a progressive three-year-old filly who resumes from a break of five months, her last appearance being a win over 1207m at Santa Anita (Dirt) at her only run of that campaign. Has won when fresh from a spell in the past. Capable of playing a big role. COTTA RIDE (1) turned in a fine effort to win by 2.25 lengths at today's track and distance last start in a nice progression the first-up effort. Likely to be there at the finish again.
