Jumped at $43.00 and not up to scratch when 10th last run at Saratoga but was on debut last time. Expected to settle towards the rear. Not ready for this level.

Started $28.00 and finished 7th last run at Saratoga but fitter for debut run. Might be ridden for luck. Going over more ground. Can't suggest backing.

Finished well when 3rd beaten by nearly 7L last start at Saratoga and having second career run. Jr Ricardo Santana and Lisa Bartkowski are a duo to watch closely. Watch for a sign in the market.

Carlos F Martin trained 2yo by War Dancer having first race start. Betting is the best guide.
