Was $8.50 and improved when 5th last time at this venue and was on debut last time. Might have to make up considerable ground. This looks a tough assignment.

Tidy run when 3rd last time at Horseshoe Indianapolis but coming back in distance. Has the necessary speed to mitigate the wide draw. Definitely worth considering.
