SMART PRIERE (3) is back from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Closed last prep with a fourth, beaten 3.5 lengths, over 1800m at Tokyo. Promising type who has placed only try fresh. Expected to go close this easier grade. SORPASSARE (9) is a talented filly who has been in the money at both appearances. Has not been produced since she was successful over 2000m at this track on November 15. Has plenty of upside so a bold showing is expected. TIMELESS KISS (2) is back from a spell of 11 weeks. Closed last prep as a winner, taking out a 1600m contest at this track by 1.3 lengths. Hard to knock. GRAND OPUS (6) broke her maiden last start over 1600m at Hanshin, scoring by a neck. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Harder here but should be involved in the finish.
