Expecting plenty of speed from Kutune Shirka, Escarcha and Tomiken Placer from Masano Vision. ESCARCHA (9) has put together a couple of wins at this course, the latest on March 31 over 1400m when he got home by 4 lengths. Winning rider Ryo Takamatsu retains the mount. Likely to be in the finish again. MASANO VISION (8) was successful last start over 1600m at this track, getting home by 1.75 lengths to make it three wins on the bounce. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. ANOTHER QUEEN (4) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race last time out, finishing second and beaten only 1.75 lengths over 1600m at this track after being in contention on the corner. Likely improver with strong prospects. TOMIKEN PLACER (7) resumed over 1600m at this track last start and was too good for his rivals, scoring by 2.5 lengths. Fitter for that last hitout and is worth following up.
