Strong tempo assured from Francina Tesoro and Something Great leading the charge. SOMETHING GREAT (6) did a great job to score by 1.5 lengths over today's course and distance last time out to continue his outstanding recent form. Hard to beat again in this suitable race. FRANCINA TESORO (2) is close to breaking through after finishing second last start over 1400m at this track when she was prominent throughout. Key runner. TAYLOR TESORO (3) has two wins and one placing from five races this preparation. Found a couple better last start at this track over 1400m after being up on the pace all the way. Genuine type with bright prospects. MIRANKA (1) returns from a spell of five months and is having her first run for a new yard. Can make an impact fresh.
