Strong this season (6:2-2-1) and proven at Churchill Downs and the trip (track-distance 3:1-1-0), with a notably good record from inside barriers (13:5-4-1). Last start at Churchill Downs on 14 May he was 3rd of 7 in a Claiming 102 over 1710m, beaten 3L after racing handy, behind Classic Car Wash and Carolo Rapido with 53.5kg. Rises to 55.5kg and draws barrier 2 for Linda Rice with Jaime A. Torres aboard, which sets him up to be competitive again.

From a wide gate he stuck on for 4th at Oaklawn Park on 2 May over 1609m in an Allowance Optional Claiming 103, beaten 5L by Forged Steel, and now draws barrier 3. Earlier runs this prep produced 3rd over 1710m (Allowance Optional Claiming 107, 5.3L) and 3rd over 1207m at 7.5. With Ben Curtis aboard and 55.5kg from a better draw, he has the setup to be competitive.

Second-up after leading and weakening for 6th of 14 at Churchill Downs over 1609m in an Allowance Optional Claiming 102 on 2 May, beaten 7.5L by Vibe at 55.5kg. Earlier form includes a Tampa Bay Downs Stakes 95 win over 1710m by 0.5L over Owen Almighty and a 1207m Maiden Special Weight win by 3L, both on FT. Draws barrier 4 with 55.5kg again and stays at 1609m; a sharper finish would put him in the mix.

Powered to a 4.8L all-the-way win last start at Keeneland over 1710m (Allowance 96) under 53.5kg, defeating Coalmoon. Prior, he led and was nabbed late when 2nd by 1L at Fair Grounds over 1710m (Allowance 94, SP 2.1) to Vamos Carlitos. Irad Ortiz Jr (2:1-1-0) reunites and he rises 2.5kg to 56kg, suggesting he remains a strong chance if reproducing that latest effort.

Second-up after a Keeneland AOC 104 over 1408m on Apr 4, where he showed speed before fading to 9th of 10, beaten 14L. He drops 2.8kg to 50.7kg with the 2.3kg apprentice claim and steps up 201m; prior form includes a wire-to-wire AOC 103 win at Aqueduct (1408m, Jun 27, SP 3.2) and a Pimlico Stakes 99 2nd at 1207m, suggesting improvement is within reach.

From barrier 14 he battled on for 2nd at Churchill Downs over 1609m on 2 May in an Allowance Optional Claiming 102, 3L behind Vibe carrying 55.5kg in a 14-runner field. Prior to that he was 3rd at Turfway Park over 1710m in an Allowance Optional Claiming 104, beaten 0.6L at $6.5 from barrier 12. Draws barrier 9 and stays at the mile fourth-up, so he looks set to hold his form.
