Back in trip this prep produced his best recent finish: 8th of 16 at Nakayama over 1200m on 5 Apr (SLOPPY), beaten 8.31L at $301. Last start 10th of 15 at Nakayama over 1200m on 12 Apr, beaten 11.65L at $101; tracked midfield before weakening behind Lord Trident. Prior 10th of 16 here over 1200m on 14 Mar, beaten 11.05L at $151. Winless from 8 starts but a softer run from barrier 7 could help; has place claims with improvement.
