On a five run winning streak. Last start favourite; came from midfield and won by 1.0 len at this track G1 Queen Elizabeth II Cup April 26 over 2000m defeating Masquerade Ball with 57kg at $1.30. The race before that favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; scored a big 4 len win at this track G1 Citi Hong Kong Gold Cup March 1 over 2000m defeating Ensued carrying 57kg. 2400m is the query, but he's clearly the one to beat.

Back from a spell. Finished off last preparation won by a neck at Al Rayyan QAG1 February 14 over 2400m defeating Goliath with 58kg. When resuming last campaign came from midfield; 4th of 15 at Kyoto in LR on November 16 2024 over 2000m, 7 len behind Desierto with 58.5kg at $6.70. Will force Romantic Warrior to be on his game and is poised to strike if he's not.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. Resuming 7th of 14 at this track in the G2 Chairman's Trophy on April 6 over 1600m, 3.5 len behind Lucky Sweynesse with 56kg at $34. Last start took up a position near the tail 2nd of 14 at this track in the G1 Champions Mile on April 26 over 1600m, neck behind My Wish with 57kg at $37. Right up in trip is the query but he's shown enough to suggest he's in the mix.

Second run back. Comes off a 57-day let-up. First-up after three months 3rd of 15 at Nakayama in the G2 Nikkei Sho on March 28 over 2500m, 1.75 len behind My Universe carrying 57.0kg at $6.20.

Last start did the work up front then tired second last of 8 at this track in the G1 Queen Elizabeth II Cup on April 26 over 2000m, 5.5 len behind Romantic Warrior with 57kg at $23. The run before that set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 14 at this track Hong Kong Derby on March 22 over 2000m, 1.3 len behind Invincible Ibis with 57kg at $5.30. Looks one of the main pace influences.
