Has 3-5-4 in last three starts, all at this level. Returned in November after 4-month layoff. Finished 4th in Nakayama 1800m last out on 1 Dec. Likely primed on third start. Decent speed.

Broke maiden over Nakayama 1800m last December. Has best a 5th in 5 starts since, all over mile or 1700m. Returned after 4 months off, finished fifth over sloppy ground last out over Tokyo mile on 24 Nov. Return to Nakayama, distance both pluses. Could surprise.

Big gelding with 4 wins from the NAR track of Monbetsu. Moved back to JRA in April and has been raced only to left in 6 starts since, mostly sprints without success. Given mile and settled well to finish 6th last out on 26 October. Decent speed. Extra distance could help.
