Helen Tesoro should have enough pace to lead a low-pressure contest. KIRISHIMA KOTOBUKI (12) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track, finishing third and only 0.8 lengths from the winner at the end of 1400m. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. SHADOW CROSS (9) drew wide and was pretty plain last time despite meeting with market support when 6 lengths from the winner in seventh at this course and distance. Among the leading chances. ESPLANADE (2) turned in a sound effort last time but found one better at this track over 1400m, beaten half a length. Nice alley and should run well. HELEN TESORO (7) improved last start to finish third over 1400m at this track. Capable of featuring prominently.
