   The object has a luminous secondary for this orbital period,
and may not satisfy the condition to show the 3:1 resonance.
Anyway, it would be interesting what the object shows.

   The object was discovered as a dwarf nova by Haseda (HadV04).
Recent outbursts have only been recorded near the start of 
the observing season (visual observations are sparse).
