Picked up late to win last time at Turfway Park and gets a favourable draw. Has a great burst of speed late. Amongst the placegetters at every start this campaign. Prefer a return to something a lot easier.

Finished amongst the placegetters when 2nd beaten by 1/2L last time at Turfway Park and has been racing in stronger company. Promising career start. Sharp improvement needed.

Was eating up the ground late when winning last run Parx At Philadelphia but facing a stronger group of contenders. Undefeated last 3 runs. Can go through the gears. Commands respect.

Back from a break. Bold effort when winning last time at Gulfstream Park. Tyler Gaffalione and Saffie A Joseph Jr demand respect when they team up. Chance and can measure up.

Picked up nicely to win last time at Oaklawn Park but up against tougher competition. Should be going forward early. Could feature prominently.
