Back in trip after a tough run last start at Kochi over 1400m on 10 May, 9th of 9 beaten 17.75L with 57kg at $126. Two back was 11th/12 over 1300m on 25 Apr on heavy, beaten 10.8L with Masayoshi Yamasaki up at $301. Best figures are at this track (9 wins) and 1600m (5 wins), and he draws barrier 1. Needs to lift on recent form but has place claims if he recaptures old track-and-trip form.
