Third foal; half-brother to winners Star Glow (1m2f turf) and Space Force (10.5f dirt); dam unplaced 1m/1m1f, half-sister to 1m/1m1f winner Leonardo, out of French 10.5f Group 3 winner from family of Arc winner Sottsass. Kicked off his career with back-to-back wins over 6f at Kokura and Hanshin in early 2024 and posted some fair efforts in defeat subsequently. Better than ever in 2025, including when landing valuable allowance race from a poor draw back at Kokura but been held since.
