Never missed on board in six starts, including his maiden win over 1400m at Tokyo in October. Untested over 1200m, only previous run at Nakayama a 3L 5th over 1600m turf in September. Handles all going. Front runner. |
Copano Bianca | Won once over 1200m at Fukushima in July, from 6 runs on turf. Also smart 3rd in the Open Class Dahlia Sho (1400m) at Niigata in August. Bumped by the other horse and never fired over 1200m turf at Nakayama last out. Sits handily. |
Devils Dancer | Won over the course and distance in September, before 14th of 15 in the JPN G3 Edelweiss Sho (1200m) last out. This small filly generally races close to the speed. Won on good going. |
