Ok, here's what I saw.
Big head.
Very nice moto guro in the future perhaps
Clean lead rays on pec fins
Nice sized pec fins
Head into body 3.5 times, but more than likely the angle of the photo
Shiroji creeping up like a two pronged fork on both sides of the body near the brilliant white dorsal fin.(at least the front 2/3 of dorsal fin) which says to me this may turn into a nice 2 or 3 step in the future as this koi grows.
Take away the black - you've got a bold kohaku pattern that will work on a potentially big fish
Take away the beni - you've got a decent shiro utsuri pattern there.
Beni comes down far enough on the head that I would hope you'd avoid a bald head as the fish grows.
Decent odome already. I believe the color in the base of the tail isn't there to stay. (no sound logic why I think this, just a beginner's hunch)
Sumi down deep on the nose, and some on the lip. Strong sumi in this fish.
And what shiroji is already present is really nice and clean.
That about sums up my thoughts when I looked at her sir!
Quite the opposite of what you may have thought... I think this one may be a real winner. (no offense to those who have an opinion based on real logic and experience intended... just sharing my thoughts)
