Major Tesoro and Crown Freed possess good early speed and will set a genuine tempo. MAJOR TESORO (3) was heavily backed and justified the support when resuming last start over 1400m at this track, scoring by 2.5 lengths. Open to plenty of improvement and will be a tough nut to crack again. KURINO MEISTER (2) is ready to win after another minor placing last start, finishing second over 1750m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. CROWN FREED (5) has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when second over 1400m at this track. Change of rider to Ren Hasegawa who has two wins when aboard. Sure to be competitive. RURI O (10) was beaten 4.5 lengths into sixth in a 1400m contest at this track at his latest appearance. Finds a nice race and can bounce back.
