MIESTA (12) is a five-start maiden who resumed from a spell last start and was beaten 9 lengths when seventh over 1200m at this track. Gave away too much start fresh. Fitter and looks a likely improver. MIKKI THOUSAND (1) resumes from a spell of nine weeks and is having his first outing under new trainer Hiroki Koga. Finished eighth at Tokyo Dirt over 1600m at the opening run last time in work. Capable of playing a major role. MOBIUS ROMANCE (7) resumes today after filling a minor placing at her only appearance last prep at Tokyo Dirt over 1400m on June 13. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. One of the main contenders. YUIWA HONKIDAZE (6) was prominent at the corner and finished second last time over 1200m at this track when resuming from a spell, beaten 2 lengths. Will trim down second-up. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race.
