SWEEP SERENITY (15) is back after a break of 12 weeks. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing third at her latest appearance over 1400m at TOKYO. Set to return in style. ROUGE RIVIERA (7) looked good at her only appearance ten weeks ago over 1400m at this track, finishing second and beaten 7 lengths. Will be better for that race experience and is among the leading chances. REWARD STERN (14) wasn't far off maiden success before a 12-week break, finishing the prep with a minor placing at this track. Has a tricky gate to overcome but is a leading player on best figures. HANG ROSE (12) showed good early dash last time out and led for most of the way before being claimed and finishing 7 lengths away in third over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Should give backers a sight.
