Odds of $12.00 and ran on into 4th last start at Fair Grounds and drawn nicely. Should go very close.

Yaupon 3yo having first race start for trainer Jorge R Abreu. Added confidence jockey with Jaime Rodriguez doing the steering. Watch for a sign in the market.

First run back from spell. Odds of $2.88 and weakened to finish 9th last time at Tampa Bay Downs but having second career run. Seems very unlikely.

First up from a spell. At $14.00 subpar when 8th last time at Gulfstream Park but was a debutant last start. Gets back and needs luck. Racing over extra ground. A difficult test here.
