Was $5.50 and didn't stay in touch when 4th last run at Kentucky Downs and was on debut last time. Should race on the speed. Entitled to be big odds.

Jumped at $28.00 and didn't find the line when 11th last start at Saratoga but having second race start. First race for a new trainer. Prefer in a much weaker race.

Initial race appearance 2yo by Upstart for Anthony W Dutrow. More confidence with jockey Flavien Prat guiding the horse. Betting is the best guide.

Jumped at $14.00 and unimpressive effort when 6th last run at Saratoga but fitter for debut run. Expected to settle towards the tail. Few more classier types in this race.

Strong effort to run into 2nd last run at this venue. Does take a while to get into stride. Unlikely to go close.

Started at $5.50 and faded away to finish 4th last time at Saratoga. Micah J Husbands and Saffie A Joseph Jr show promise as a combination. Not at all out of this race.
