Draws the inside gate and drops to 52kg, a 4kg relief from his last run 31 days ago. His recent Monbetsu 1000m efforts have been well back, including 11th of 12 on 15 Sep when $201 behind Ambitio by 30.3L, but the 300m rise in trip and new rider Musashi Gotou offer a different setup.

Back to 1000m after a 36-day freshen, having shown his best when 4th of 10 at Monbetsu over 1100m on 13 Aug (SP 23) and 5th of 9 over 1000m on 23 Jun. Draws barrier 2, an improvement from last start’s gate 5, and carries 55kg under Ren Hasegawa. Inside draw and drop in trip give him a chance to hold a position and improve on recent results.

Draws barrier 3 and rises to 55kg after a 900m HEAVY run at Saga 20 days ago when 5th of 9, beaten 13.6L at $41 behind Magissa Kirke. Earlier 4th of 8 over 1300m here on FIRM suggests the step back up in trip (+400m) could help if he settles better.

Third-up after two 900m runs at Saga, including a 7th of 9 on heavy by 20.1L at $29 on 26 Sep carrying 54kg. Steps to 1300m with an improved barrier to 4, and keeps Takuto Demizu; needs to lift but the setup offers a different look.

Fourth-up and back at Saga 1300m where he’s had two runs for a 3rd, most recently finishing 9th of 10 on 1 Oct over 1300m (GOOD) at $13, beaten 12.55L by Davay Ho O. Prior Saga run was a 3rd of 8 over 1300m (FIRM) at $5, albeit 22.5L off Moon Of The Cross, and he draws barrier 5 today after jumping from 8 last time. Mixed figures but the draw and suitable trip could help him settle and hold a spot.

Fourth-up and on a 33-day break, he returns at 55kg from barrier 6 after three 1400m runs where he settled back and finished 7th/7, 8th/10, and 10th/11, latest at Hanshin when 26.01L from Undine at $71. The slight drop to 1300m and a mid draw offer a different setup, but he needs to lift on exposed form.

Fourth-up and back with Daiki Oomi, she comes off an 8th of 10 at Saga over 1300m (GOOD) 15 days ago, beaten 11.55L at $51 from barrier 10. Her best finish this prep was 4th of 6 on debut over 900m, and she draws barrier 7 here after wider gates in two of three runs. Needs to lift on recent 1300m efforts but a kinder draw could help her settle and finish closer.

Drops back 400m after a 6th of 9 over 900m at Saga on 26 Sep, beaten 19.6L on heavy at $201 under 54kg from barrier 9. Prior 1300m runs at Saga saw 7th/8th placings with wide margins, so the shorter trip and a slightly better draw in gate 8 need to spark sharp improvement.
