MEISHO AKARI (9) is back from a spell of six-and-a-half months. Closed last prep as a winner, taking out a 1900m contest at Kyoto Dirt by a neck. Expecting a bold showing. SIENA COLOR (8) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 5.5 lengths when fifth over 1800m at this track four weeks ago. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. KRATELOS (5) finished midfield at her first run back from a spell last start, beaten 7 lengths over 1800m at this track. Has winning claims on best figures. SERENO (4) resumes. Didn't make an impact at her only run last prep on June 7, finishing 12th and beaten 12 lengths over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. Looks a strong top-three prospect on peak performances.
