At the latest run crossed from a wide gate to lead but couldn't hold on when 4th of 12 at this track on June 4 over 1400m, 2.5 len behind A Shin Animo with 57kg at $17.90. The start before that 5th of 9 at this track on May 15 over 1700m, 3.5 len behind Light Pillar with 58kg at $8.20. Will jump at pretty long odds and deservedly so.

Comes here off a 33-day let-up. Most recently 9th of 13 at Niigata on May 23 over 3290m, 49 len behind Corepetiteur with 60.0kg at $57.80. The start before that did the work up front then tired 8th of 14 at Nakayama on April 11 over 3200m, 10 len behind Meisho Sommelier with 57.0kg at $26. Far better than recent form suggests.

Last start 7th of 10 at this track on June 3 over 1870m, 11 len behind Transcendence carrying 56kg at $321.70. The run before that eased back early on 5th of 8 at this track on May 7 over 1870m, 13 len behind A Shin Leo carrying 55kg at $217.10. Might just find this a bit too tough.

The start before that 4th of 11 at this track on April 28 over 1400m, 6 len behind Predestinare with 57kg at $5.30. Worth another chance.
