Started at $18.00 and weakened under pressure when 11th last time at Keeneland. Should jump out and bowl along. Could put in your exotics.

Finished with intent when 3rd last start at Fanduel Sportsbook And Horse Racing and up against weaker rivals. Won't be far away during the run. Showing consistent performance in races. Well respected contender.

Odds of $18.00 and underperformed when 8th last start at this venue but fitter for debut run. First appearance for a new trainer. Gets back and needs luck. Needs a lot of luck to figure in the finish.
