Comes here off a 42-day let-up. Most recently crossed from a wide gate to lead but couldn't hold on when 3rd of 12 at this track on January 20 over 800m, 2.75 len behind Fingal's Cave with 51kg at $5.10. The run before that 14th of 16 at Nakayama Dirt on December 7 over 1200m, 18 len behind Dona Sol carrying 52.0kg at $133.50. Strong chance from a low draw.
