Second run back. First-up after five months 3rd of 12 at this track on August 20 over 1500m, 1.1 len behind Eclogite with 57kg at $19. Previously second-up 12th of 16 at Nakayama Dirt on April 5 over 1800m, 12 len behind Merry Christmas with 53.0kg at $144.60. Should progress from that first-up run.

Resumes after a break of four months and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last campaign won by 2 len this track May 15 over 2000m defeating Candelaria carrying 57kg at $1.40. First up last campaign third of 10 at this track March 2 over 2000m, 3.5 len behind Viv Air with 57kg at $4. Form shown last campaign makes for good reading.

Comes off a 42 day let-up. At the latest run favourite; won by 0.5 len at this track on July 30 over 2000m defeating Lilabad carrying 57kg at $2.40. The run before that 12th of 16 at Tokyo Dirt on May 30 over 2100m, 17 len behind Taisei Kaiser with 58.0kg at $39.80. Big chance to go back-to-back.

Most recently struggled in the run home; 10th of 12 at Funabashi on August 28 over 2200m, 22 len behind Sehr Schnell carrying 55kg at $15. The race before that won by 4 len at Urawa on July 15 over 2000m defeating Lysine with 57kg at $3.80. Better than that recent moderate performance suggests.

Second-up today. Last start 3rd in a small field at Ohi on August 15 over 2000m, 2.25 len behind Parmigianino carrying 54kg at $2.20. At only start last preparation favourite; won by a neck at Ohi on May 18 over 1800m defeating Sekitoba Shoes carrying 54kg at $16.10. Among the leading chances.

Last start 4th of 12 at this track on August 20 over 1500m, 1.75 len behind Eclogite with 57kg at $28.70. The run before that 4th of 12 at this track on July 31 over 1500m, 3.5 len behind Erin Achilles with 57kg at $15. Thereabouts last start but looks tested this time.

At the latest run settled towards the rear 2nd of 12 at this track on August 20 over 1500m, 1.0 len behind Eclogite with 57kg at $38.60. The start before that 5th of 12 at this track on July 31 over 1500m, 4 len behind Erin Achilles with 57kg at $21.60. Not far from the winner last time but this is a tough assignment.

Racing well recently. Last start favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.5 len at Funabashi on August 27 over 2200m defeating Hiro Shige Jack carrying 57kg at $1.90. Before that ran on from midfield; 2nd of 11 at this track on July 30 over 2000m, 0.5 len behind Rafale D'or with 57kg at $2.90. Won last start and is well-placed again.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. Resuming 3rd of 11 at this track on July 30 over 2000m, 4.5 len behind Rafale D'or carrying 57kg at $6.90. Last start 7th of 9 at this track on August 18 over 1600m, 10 len behind Opera Plage with 56kg at $7.80. Likely to run around at long odds and deservedly so.

Last start ran on from midfield; 2nd of 13 at Funabashi on August 25 over 1600m, 2.5 len behind Adam's Apple with 55kg at $10.70. The race before that ran second last of 10 at Funabashi on August 3 over 1800m, 9 len behind Ho O Kabuki with 53kg at $74.30. Needs to improve to trouble the top handful.
