At $4.00 finished 4th last run here. Has the potential to improve sharply but racing against tougher rivals. Racing for a new trainer. Expected to be flashing home. Should be in the finish.

Was $9.00 and couldn't stay in touch when 6th last time at Horseshoe Indianapolis and up in class. Should jump out and bowl along. Looking elsewhere today.

Was $11.00 and couldn't maintain the pace when 7th last run at Keeneland. Has the potential to improve sharply but facing stiffer opposition. This will pose a challenge.
