Was $3.60 and lost ground in the run home when 6th last run at this track. Can show a better performance this time. Change in trainer. Win won't shock.

Ran on strongly when 2nd beaten by 5 1/2L last start at Keeneland and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Coming to a new trainer. Finishes off strongly. Genuine claims.

Jumped at $10.00 and disappointing display when 7th last time here. Racing for a new trainer. Expected to be flashing home. Good chance in this.
