Odds of $36.00 and struggled with the pace when 8th last run at Keeneland but good career start. Jockey Tyler Gaffalione and trainer Kelsey Danner are consistently competitive together. Form will be tested here.

Controlled the speed to win by a margin of a nose last run at Horseshoe Indianapolis but racing in stronger company. Should come to hand quickly. Capable type.

At $7.50 didn't find the line when 7th last start at Belmont Park and up in grade. Should jump out and bowl along. Good potential.
