Jumped at $18.00 and ran 4th last time at Santa Anita but having second career run. Should muster plenty of early speed. Drawn beautifully. Couldn't have in this.

Back from a 46 week spell. Was $18.00 and mediocre performance when 8th last run at this track but was on debut last time. Hard to entertain.

First up from a break. Didn't find the line when 9th last run at Sunray Park. Should come to hand quickly. Rather have another day.
