On a short back up. Right up there last run at Dayton Raceway and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Should be swooping on the field late. Right in the mix.

Narrowly beaten last start at Old Washington and will be well suited at the distance. Tim Vanhorn stable are having a great run of late. Very competitive this campaign. Well respected contender.

Lost ground in the run home when 5th last run at Old Washington. Can make a comeback. In fine form since coming back from a spell. Should be in the finish.
