Strong tempo to be established by Plaisir Minoru, Madam Hawk and Meisho Shimato. MEISHO SHIMATO (3) scored by 1.5 lengths over 1400m at this track last start when first up from a spell. Has a very good record here including 16 wins from 24 starts. Sure to be there at the business end. LA VIE EN (7) clocked-in second behind Copano Emilia last time out at this track over 1870m. Has a very good record here including nine wins from 15 starts. Sure to run well. MADAM HAWK (6) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1870m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. VUELA FUERTE (1) raced below his best last time when sixth over 1400m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time.
