Genuine tempo with Francina Tesoro leading the way. LUPUS TESORO (5) was sent out favourite last time and scored by 9 lengths at this track. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including a win and three placings. Winning rider Shinsuke Ishikawa stays aboard. Bold showing expected. FRANCINA TESORO (9) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish second over 1400m at this track. Can cross and take up a prominent position. Hayashi Yuto who has scored on her three times retains the mount. Well placed and should be in the finish. CRY ME A RIVER (3) was well fancied last start over 1400m at this track when third. Has a solid record at this circuit. Should be involved in the finish. DON APOLLON (1) improved last start but found one better over 1400m at this track, beaten just 0.8 lengths. Likely to hold the form and is a strong top-three prospect.
