Useful type. Most recently sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 10 at this track on January 15 over 1400m, 2 len behind Jun Hans carrying 56kg at $34.90. The start before that 6th of 12 at this track on December 28 over 1400m, 5 len behind Haruno Samson carrying 54kg at $6.70. Should go well in this line up.

Most recently gave a sight but was run down late 2nd of 11 at this track on January 22 over 1600m, 1.0 len behind Noisy Approach with 54kg at $7.80. Before that couldn't go on with it; 7th of 10 at this track on January 8 over 1600m, 7 len behind Amuletum with 54kg at $77.40. Draws a nice alley and rates highly.

Racing well. Last start 3rd of 10 at this track on January 15 over 1400m, 9 len behind Genyosai carrying 56kg at $13.10. The start before that was well back until straightening; raced back then made ground from the turn; won by 0.5 len at this track December 28 over 1600m defeating Manhattan Road with 56kg at $5.50. Chances enhanced by drawing a nice marble.

Most recently raced behind the speed prior to fading 7th of 11 at this track on January 8 over 1600m, 6 len behind Savannah Monkey carrying 56kg at $6.50. The run before that faded in the straight 7th of 12 at this track on December 28 over 1400m, 5.5 len behind Haruno Samson with 56kg at $6.10. Didn't fire last start but is capable of better.

At the latest run 7th of 9 at this track on January 15 over 1400m, 8 len behind Tamamo Masurao with 56kg at $46.20. The race before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 9 at this track on December 28 over 1400m, 3 len behind Hokko Hanamichi with 56kg at $5.10. Better than that recent plain performance suggests.

Form hard to fault. Most recently favourite; won by 3 len at this track January 12 over 1400m defeating Fuyusobi with 56kg at $2.40. The run before that held ground to the line 3rd of 8 at this track on December 28 over 1600m, 4 len behind Kure Feno carrying 56kg at $1.60. Ideally placed to make it two on the trot.
