Resumes after a 50 week break. Was $12.00 and well beaten when 6th last run here but having second career run. Displays good tactical speed. Podium finish seems unlikely.

Resuming after a spell. Was $36.00 and just average when 10th last time at Gulfstream Park. Gets back and needs luck. Too much luck needed to come into contention.

Honest run on the speed before fading to finish 2nd beaten by 8L last time at this track. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Can't leave out of your calculations.
