Made up ground when 5th last time at North Dakota Horse Park. First start for a new trainer. Worth consideration. MYSTICIOUS (7) Ran 6th last start at Saratoga. Happy to overlook that run.

First up after a break of 510 weeks. Weakened under pressure when 7th last start at Tampa Bay Downs. Overlooking the last run and drawn nicely. Nice value bet.

Started at $53.00 and just average when 6th last time at Saratoga but up against a less challenging field. Gets back and needs luck. Needs a lot of luck in this race.
