ANTHISMA (3) accounted for a maiden field over 1700m at Kokura Dirt last start, finishing 2.5 lengths ahead of the nearest rival. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Re-unites with Keisuke Dazai who was on board last start. Serious contender again. DEIR EL BAHRI (2) was well held in the Unicorn Stakes won by Silver Ratio over 1900m at Kyoto Dirt at her last appearance three months ago. Backmarker who gets home hard. Will be tough to hold out. CHAMPAGNE STAR (4) was in the money two starts back at Kyoto Dirt but was unable to repeat the effort last time when seventh, beaten 4.5 lengths, at Kokura Dirt over 1700m after being prominent at the turn. Meeting a tougher field but on her best form she is capable of testing her rivals. SIENA COLOR (1) turned in a modest performance when seventh last time out over 1700m at Kokura Dirt, beaten 5.5 lengths, after a win at Kyoto Dirt at the previous outing. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
