Placed at both runs this campaign and comes back to a trip where his record is strong. First look at this venue is the query, but he has solid claims.

Beaten favourite first-up but was only two lengths away in A2 grade. Back to a proven 1600m and has the right form for a place.

Well beaten first-up behind Opera Plage and the prior Ohi run was no better. Past track-and-trip form is not enough on current figures.

Dominant four-length winner at Ohi and brings a deep winning record. First look at this track is the only small query, but he sets the standard.

Beaten over 15 lengths last start and well held the run before. Previous track-and-trip form is buried under poor current form.

Beaten a nose by Opera Plage first-up and has never missed a place in four track-and-distance runs. Strong place profile again.

Unbeaten in two runs this campaign and perfect at the distance. Latest win was narrow, but the prior B2 success gives the form depth.

Class drop helps and he has won at this trip, but recent Urawa runs were only fair. A sharper finish is required.

Back after a four-month break with excellent track and distance figures. Last run was poor, but his best local form makes him a major player.
