Started at $36.00 and gave away some ground when 10th last start at Horseshoe Indianapolis but drawn beautifully. Back to a shorter distance. Few more classier types in this race.

2yo first starter sired by Mo Donegal for trainer John Alexander Ortiz and has a positive alley. Luke Luke Hoskins is a key booking. Large claim helps. Betting is the best guide.

Was $28.00 and didn't threaten when 7th last start at Ellis Park. Needs too much luck.

At $43.00 ran 7th last time at Ellis Park but was a debutant last start. Might be ridden for luck. Overlook from a betting angle.

Was $18.00 and folded up in the straight when 9th last time at Colonial Downs and coming back in trip. This looks a tough assignment.

Jumped at $16.00 and weakened under pressure when 9th last run at Kentucky Downs but having second race start. Stepping down to a lower level. Difficult to warm to at present.

Outgunned at the finish when 3rd beaten by almost 10L last time at Colonial Downs. In fine form this campaign. Should be rolling forward early from the wide gate. Has strong claims.
