Threw down a serious challenge last time at Scioto Downs. Justin Irvine usually performs well for this stable. Has not missed the money this preparation in 2 attempts. Rates as one of the key chances.

Started $83.00 and lost ground in the run home when 8th last run at the track but having second career run. Might be ridden for luck. Very unlikely to shake these.
