Gelding back from a spell of five months. Has placed previously first up from a break. Finished off last campaign second of 12 at this track March 27 over 1400m, 1.5 len behind Hakusan Mignon with 56kg at $2.30. Previously first up; sixth of 16 at Chukyo Dirt January 13 over 1900m, 5.5 len behind Gravis with 58.0kg at $4.10. This is an ideal race to kick off. Top hope.

Recent form sound. Comes here off a 42-day let-up. Most recently came from midfield; 2nd of 12 at this track on July 7 over 1500m, 1.0 len behind Kyoei Palast with 57kg at $1.50. The race before that favourite; scored a big 5 len win at this track June 26 over 1500m defeating Sacrifice with 57kg at $2. Should be right in the finish.
