|---|---|---|---|---|

Red Histoire and Burke Tesoro to battle for the leading role. SHINE BAOBAB (13) progressed nicely last time out to finish just half a length from the winner in second over 2600m at Fukushima. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. ENGAGE PRIDE (2) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 5 lengths when fourth over 2200m at Hanshin two weeks ago. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. SHINE FREELY (12) is building towards a maiden win after minor placings at his last two runs, the latest when second over 2600m at Fukushima, beaten 1.75 lengths. Among the leading chances. JACK O DAMO (1) has not raced since he finished sixth over 2000m at Kokura on March 1. Ticks all the right boxes.
