MAJOR TESORO (1) Came in 5th last start at this venue. Giving another chance here and strong performer at the distance. Likely to be well placed early. Drawn beautifully. Definite claims. LOT FIGHTER (11) Ran 5th last run at this venue. May see an upturn in form. Yamato Ishikawa usually performs well for this stable. Tracking very well this campaign. Suitably placed in this race. LUMEN (7) Average at best when 7th last start at this track but strong performer at this distance in the past. Has plenty of early speed. In the mix. B B DAIGO (10) Backing up quickly. Chimed in with a win by 1 1/2L last run around here and getting better in recent performances. Prefers to settle towards the rear. Respect against this field.
