Weakened under pressure when 9th last run at Scioto Downs but good career start. Running with confidence since resuming from a spell. Likely to get back in the run. Needs significant improvement.

Strong effort to the line to win last run at Scioto Downs and strong performer at this distance. Can't knock the form winning 2 on the bounce. Solid chance.
