SFF kohaku

This kohaku caught my eye from the SFF auction. Good uniform bodyline with decent tail tube, thick even beni, shiro that is snow white and a well balanced maruzome pattern that looks like one that would belong to a GC. My questions are these:-

1. There seems to be a sashi break as well as a kiwa break in the shoulder area. Are these signs of future weakness in the hi plate?

2. Is the fish looking way too finished for an ake sansai 61cm? I normally buy koi for the future, not to finish too young.

I am NOT bidding for the fish, but just thought I'd post this as a learning experience.
