On a quick turnaround. Started at $34.00 and ran 4th last time at Urawa. Struggling this campaign with no placings from 9 attempts. Unlikely to feature.

Jumped at $11.00 and came in 4th last start here. Should improve from the last run. Does take a while to get into stride. Definitely worth considering.

Odds of $126.00 and not up to scratch when 10th last start at the track. Likely to get back. Much prefer the look of others in this race.
