Four-year-old gelding (Asia Express - Meisho Andes) at the races for the first time. This looks a tricky race for him.

Useful filly. Last start got back early 6th of 10 at this track on February 27 over 1300m, 10 len behind Kitano Amapola carrying 54kg at $5.40. The race before that 7th of 12 at Kawasaki on February 4 over 900m, 9 len behind Blau Horizon with 54kg at $3.30. Good effort last start and can build on that performance.

Second-up. First-up after three months second last of 11 at this track on February 26 over 1400m, 11 len behind Kimiwa Lemonade with 54kg at $16.30. Previously second-up won by 1.5 len at Kanazawa July 23 over 900m defeating Beauty Honey with 54kg at $4.30. Fitter and worth including.

Most recently 7th of 11 at this track on February 26 over 1400m, 7 len behind Kimiwa Lemonade with 56kg at $63.10. Before that got back early 8th of 11 at Kawasaki on February 7 over 900m, 6 len behind Rio Champagne carrying 56kg at $58.90. Nice alley and worth including.

Second-up. First-up after four months ran last of 12 at this track on February 28 over 800m, 11 len behind Fanfan with 54kg at $411.20. Previously second-up ran last of 11 at this track on September 22 2023 over 1400m, 16 len behind Koyu Yukeyuke with 54kg at $171.10. Unlikely to threaten.

At the latest run ran last of 11 at this track on February 26 over 1400m, 12 len behind Kimiwa Lemonade with 56kg at $45.50. The race before that ran last of 11 at this track on January 8 over 1400m, 29 len behind Wonder Survival with 56kg at $4.20. Needs plenty of luck to trouble the top few.

At the latest run 5th of 10 at this track on February 27 over 1300m, 8 len behind Kitano Amapola with 56kg at $262. The run before that second last of 12 at Kawasaki on February 5 over 1400m, 44 len behind A Shin Zodiac with 56kg at $131.70. A top-three finish would surprise.

Resuming after a spell of eight months. Finished off last preparation 13th of 16 at Sapporo August 3 over 2000m, 11 len behind Sonic Drive carrying 55.0kg at $114.10. When resuming last campaign fifth of 18 at Tokyo May 11 over 1400m, 6 len behind Midnight Lustre with 55.0kg at $244.10. Definite winning hope.

The start before that 7th of 11 at Kawasaki on February 6 over 1400m, 4.5 len behind It's My Treat carrying 56kg at $3.60. Watch for sharp improvement.
