Second run back. First-up after four months favourite; won by 5 len at this track on July 29 over 1870m defeating Imagine Lennon with 57kg at $2.50. Previously second-up 4th of 12 at Himeji on January 28 over 1400m, 4 len behind Meisho Kaikon carrying 57kg at $6.20. Only needs to hold that form to be winning again. Improver with winning prospects.
