Second run back. Comes off a 41-day let-up. First-up after three months won by a neck at Kyoto November 16 over 2000m defeating Aurum Ares with 56.0kg at $15.30. Previously second-up won by a neck at Sapporo August 30 over 1800m defeating Akkan with 55.0kg at $1.90. Determined winner fresh but this is tougher so prefer others.

Second run back. Comes off a 41-day let-up. First-up after two months 2nd of 8 at Kyoto on November 16 over 2000m, neck behind Noche Cerrada carrying 56.0kg at $4.40. Previously second-up 4th of 12 at Sapporo in the G3 Sapporo Nisai Stakes on September 6 over 1800m, 3 len behind Shonan Gulf with 55.0kg at $4.20. Has upside but this far tougher and must improve significantly.

Yet to taste defeat in two starts. On debut, won by 1.0 len at Kyoto October 13 over 1800m defeating Timeless Flair carrying 56.0kg at $7.20. Last start came from midfield and won by 1.0 len at Kyoto G3 Kyoto Nisai Stakes November 29 over 2000m defeating Ask Edinburgh with 56.0kg at $25. Unbeaten in two runs including the Grade 3 Kyoto Nisai Stakes at this trip latest. Drawn for a soft run and well be winding up late.

Was well-supported at debut, won won by 3 len at Kyoto November 9 over 2000m defeating Alpenglow carrying 56.0kg at $2.90. Great effort on debut and can gibe a sight at odds from the low draw.

Resuming. Not seen since winning by 1.0 len Tokyo October 25 over 1800m defeating Nac White with 56.0kg at $29.50. On debut fifth of 13 at this track September 15 over 1600m, 2.75 len behind Thunderstruck with 55.0kg at $95.20. Looks up against it.

Chasing a hat-trick. Comes off a 62 day let-up. Most recently won by 1.0 len at Kyoto LR October 26 over 1800m defeating Kikko Bello with 56.0kg at $4. The start before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 4 len at Hanshin September 6 over 2000m defeating Meisho Narukami with 55.0kg at $1.40. Improved his rating at each of three runs and is a winner at the trip already. Has speed and will take running down.

Second run back. First-up after two months favourite; won by 2.5 len at Hanshin December 14 over 1800m defeating Bright Airy with 56.0kg at $1.50. Previously second-up 4th of 10 at Hanshin on September 14 over 1400m, 5.5 len behind Diamond Knot with 55.0kg at $15. This is tougher so prefer others.

At the latest run won by 0.5 len at Hanshin December 7 over 2000m defeating Darling Darling carrying 56.0kg at $7.70. Before that 7th of 13 at Tokyo on November 15 over 2000m, 4 len behind Olufsen carrying 56.0kg at $52.50. Will not find this easy. Not keen.

Resuming after a break; only one run when raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 0.5 len at this track September 13 over 2000m defeating Romeo carrying 55.0kg at $2.90. May need more time.

Second-up today. Last outing 6th of 11 at Kyoto in the G3 Kyoto Nisai Stakes on November 29 over 2000m, 3.5 len behind Justin Vista with 56.0kg at $5.70. At only start last preparation won by a neck at this track September 27 over 2000m defeating Amethystos carrying 55.0kg at $8.90. Worked to the line fairly fresh and fitter again. Won only try course and distance but has to improve to feature.

Lining up for just third start. When well in the market at debut, favourite; came from midfield and won by a neck at this track September 7 over 1800m defeating Solennellement with 55.0kg at $1.80. Last start 2nd in a small field at Tokyo on November 2 over 2000m, 1.75 len behind Akkan with 56.0kg at $1.90. Winner on debut then found one better last time. Has upside and gets chance to atone.

Back from a spell. Finished off last campaign favourite; won by 1.0 len at Tokyo LR October 18 over 1800m defeating Art Basel with 56.0kg at $2.30. Won previous preparation first up favourite; scored a big 5 len win at Chukyo August 10 over 1600m defeating Lady Goal carrying 55.0kg at $1.40. Just missed on debut then unbeaten in two runs since. Won with ease last time and looks suited by the extra ground. Hard to hold out.

Yet to taste defeat in two starts. Closed last prep favourite; won by a neck at Sapporo G3 Sapporo Nisai Stakes September 6 over 1800m defeating Gene King with 55.0kg at $3.40. Unbeaten so far stepping from a newcomer win to the Grade 3 Sapporo Nisai Stakes before a spell. Has a big finish and sure to go well fresh.

Resuming. Finished off last campaign second of 12 at Sapporo in the G3 Sapporo Nisai Stakes September 6 over 1800m, a neck behind Shonan Gulf carrying 55.0kg at $31.10. On debut third of 13 at Fukushima June 29 over 1800m, 3 len behind Los Paredones with 55.0kg at $5.40. Has pace and can give a sight at odds fresh.

At the latest run made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 11 at Kyoto in the G3 Kyoto Nisai Stakes on November 29 over 2000m, 1.0 len behind Justin Vista carrying 56.0kg at $49.90. Before that second last of 8 at Tokyo in the G3 Saudi Arabia Royal Cup on October 11 over 1600m, 5 len behind Ecoro Alba carrying 56.0kg at $9.10. One of the most seasoned and ran on hard to place this trip last time. Wide gate but expected to be running on hard.

Having third race start. When well in the market at debut, 3rd of 9 at Tokyo on October 25 over 2000m, 0.9 len behind Up Helly Aa with 56.0kg at $2.60. Second-up favourite; won by 1.5 len at Tokyo November 15 over 2000m defeating Yoka O carrying 56.0kg at $2.70. Cannot be taken lightly.
