Third up and comes off a Niigata 1800m win on 17 Oct, scoring by 0.3L at $15.00 in 1:55.1. Drops into a much kinder draw with barrier 2 after jumping from 7 last time, which should help secure a smoother run. The shift to 1400m is the query, but the profile is progressive. With Genki Maruyama aboard again, Copano Kirakira brings winning form and a better gate into this.
