Keen battle for the lead with Pomme Verte, Arthur Tesoro and Astaequus in advance of Viator and Takeno Eiko. ARTHUR TESORO (10) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 6 lengths over 1400m at this track. Tricky draw to overcome but does have good gate speed. Hard to beat in this suitable race. FILLMORE TESORO (8) proved too strong last start and scored by 0.8 lengths over 1400m at this track. Has seven wins here. Leading player again. POMME VERTE (11) finished second here two starts back then scored by 2 lengths last time out over 1400m at this track. Can give a sight. ASTAEQUUS (4) resumes in a similar race to his last run three-and-a-half months ago when eighth. Can make his presence felt.
