Form hard to fault. Comes off a 29 day let-up. Last start 2nd of 13 at Urawa on January 7 over 1400m, 1.5 len behind Oniashi carrying 55kg at $23.60. The run before that won by a head at Urawa December 22 over 1500m defeating Oniashi with 56kg at $9.60. Well placed. Should prove hard to beat.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace

Returns from a 56-day let-up. Most recently 8th of 10 at Funabashi on December 11 over 1600m, 10 len behind Will Shine with 52kg at $15.30. The start before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 2 len at this track November 17 over 1400m defeating Raziation carrying 54kg at $2.30. Didn't fire last time out but this suits.
