Third-up and back with Yuuma Shibata, who rode him to a 3rd at Kanazawa over 1400m on 6 Sep (SP 14, 56kg) on firm ground, beaten 9.75L by Be The First. Forgive the latest 9th/10 at Kanazawa on 21 Sep over 1400m (SP 29) when beaten 33.1L on good, and the inside draw today offers a softer map.

Draws barrier 2 and returns 11 days after finishing 8th of 10 at Kanazawa over 1400m, beaten 30.6L at $201. Her last five runs at 1400m here have all been unplaced, though the inside draw is an advantage on paper. Needs sharp improvement to feature.

Draws well in barrier 3 and comes back 11 days after a Kanazawa 1400m run where she finished 4th of 10, beaten 21.5L at $31. Her best recent effort was a 3rd over this track and trip on heavy going on 26 Jul, 2.3L off Carino Sofia at $5. With consistent 1400m exposure and a kinder gate, she can aim to hold a position and improve on recent margins.

Third-up and back at 1400m, she was a 2nd at Kanazawa on 6 Sep over 1400m (FIRM), beaten 9L by Be The First at $7.5. Last time she finished 7th of 10 at Kanazawa on 21 Sep over 1400m (GOOD), 29.1L off Eolssu, but draws barrier 4 again and sticks with Taiga Kurihara; looking to rebound at a track and trip where she has placed.

Found sharp improvement last start at Kanazawa over 1400m, running 2nd of 8, 1L off Rainbow Tree at $4.75 carrying 56kg from barrier 6. Steps out again 11 days later from gate 5 with Hirotaka Kouga retained, and his track/distance/jockey stats (1:0-1-0) suggest this setup suits.

Third-up and coming off a solid 3rd at Kanazawa over 1400m 11 days ago, beaten 2.5L by Rainbow Tree at $7 after racing from barrier 4. He sticks to 56kg and the same trip, and draws barrier 6 after earlier runs from inside gates, suggesting he’s progressing through the prep.

Drops back to 1400m after an 11th of 12 at Monbetsu over 1600m on 8 Aug (55kg, SP 101) and most recently finished 6th of 10 at Kanazawa on 21 Sep (1400m, 55kg, SP 81), beaten 26.6L by Eolssu from barrier 10. Stays at 55kg and moves to barrier 7, with Seigo Tsukamoto taking over, looking to build on a limited record at the trip and track.

Back to 1000m after a 1200m try two runs ago, with her best recent effort a 3rd at Monbetsu over this trip on 9 Jun (SOFT) carrying 55kg, 4.5L off Crying Call at $29. She’s drawn barrier 8 today, a slight improvement from the wide alleys she faced when finishing 9th and 6th, and reunites with Masayoshi Aoyagi. With 55kg again and a month between runs, a competitive showing at the shorter trip looks within reach.

Fourth-up and on a short turnaround (11 days), he shifts back from 1700m to 1400m after two 6ths at Monbetsu, having earlier placed 3rd over 1200m there. Now from barrier 9 with Shouma Katou, his prior Kanazawa run came at $1.26 but lacked a result, so a cleaner trip at this trip could see an improved showing.
