Inside draw looks a plus after a solid 4th at Churchill Downs on 9 May over 1609m in an Allowance 98, beaten 4.4L after racing on speed behind Love'm Or Liam. Prior run was a nose 2nd at Keeneland over 1609m in an Allowance 96 when leading throughout. Drops 604m in trip and sticks at 56kg; from barrier 1 he maps to get every chance to run well.

Drops 303m and draws barrier 2 after a Churchill Downs Claiming 92 on May 25, finishing 4th/10 over 1308m, 6L off Speedstorm with 56kg after improving from midfield. Previously won a 1408m Maiden Optional Claiming at Gulfstream Park on Mar 27 by 1.8L at 4.4 when leading throughout. Fourth-up and back near that trip with 56kg for Gabriel Saez and J. Kent Sweezey, the inside draw should aid a positive run style.

Fourth-up after an 11th of 12 at Churchill Downs over 1106m on 17 May in an Allowance 90, beaten 6.6L after racing midfield behind Schwarzenegger. Prior efforts included a 4th of 8 at Keeneland over 1106m (Allowance 92, 3.8L) and a 4.5L win at Turfway Park over 1207m (Maiden Claiming 77) at 5.5. The better draw in barrier 3 with 53.5kg under Francisco Arrieta suggests scope to improve.

Second-up and drops 303m after a tough 10th of 10 at Churchill Downs over 1308m in an Allowance Optional Claiming 96, beaten 21.8L by Gilded Bandit. Now carries 49.2kg after Amir Mendoza’s 2.3kg claim and owns a (7:1-0-2) record including a 1006m Maiden Special Weight win at Horseshoe Indianapolis. The lighter weight and return to a shorter trip can help him settle and improve.

Scored at Churchill Downs on 7 May over 1006m in a Maiden Special Weight 89, beating Dismiss by 0.3L with 53.5kg. Now third-up with 54.5kg from barrier 6, and Ben Curtis retains the ride after that win. Earlier form includes Stakes placings at Colonial Downs (1106m, 2nd, 3.8L) and Woodbine (1006m, 3rd, 4.5L), giving him a solid platform to build on.

Arrives off a 2nd at Churchill Downs on 17 May over 1106m in an Allowance 90, beaten 2.3L by Schwarzenegger after settling 5th and improving to 4th on the turn. Previously won at Keeneland (1106m, Maiden Special Weight 89) over Ink Lies, and retains Danny Sheehy who is 5:1-2-0 on him. With a better barrier than last start (7 versus 10), he looks set to run well again.

Pressed on speed when 3rd at Churchill Downs on 17 May over 1106m in an Allowance 90, beaten 2.4L by Schwarzenegger under 53.5kg. Prior to that, stuck on for 3rd at Keeneland on 17 Apr over 1106m in an Allowance 92, 3.5L behind Moon Sniper after travelling 3rd throughout. Third-up with a (4:1-0-3) profile and two solid allowance placings this prep, he looks a consistent contender.

Drew wide and held his spot for 4th (2.5L) in an Allowance 90 over 1106m at Churchill Downs on May 17, sitting 3rd in the run behind winner Schwarzenegger. Third-up now and back with Irad Ortiz, Jr. (rides: 3:1-0-0; trainer/jockey: 2:1-0-0), and he’s a prior Churchill maiden winner at $7.5, so a competitive showing is within reach.
