Comes off a strong 3rd at Kyoto over 2000m on 2 May, beaten 2L after running on from back in the field, with 57kg at $26. Draws barrier 1 now after jumping from 10 last time, which could help settle closer. Prior runs included 8th at Hanshin 1800m and 8th at Chukyo 1600m, so the step back up to 2000m suited. Can feature with a similar run from the inside draw.
