Good pace from Kashino Asap, Lupus Tesoro and Arthur Tesoro. LUPUS TESORO (3) has scored at his last three starts, most recently by 5 lengths over 1400m at this track. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with four wins and two minor placings from six starts. Leading player again. TRICORN (4) showed early speed from a good draw and led until entering the straight last start, eventually holding on for second and beaten 1.5 lengths over 1750m at this track. Well-placed and should be tough to rein in again. KASHINO ASAP (6) finished 5 lengths behind the winner in second over 1400m at this track last start after lifting strongly to score two back. Should be prominent from the outset. Sure to be competitive. BEACH BOY (8) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when eighth and beaten 4 lengths over 1400m at this track. Best figures measure up nicely. Solid top-three prospects.
