First run back from a break of 49 weeks. Looked good when 3rd last start at the track and having second career run. Good chance of taking this out.

Couldn't keep the momentum going throughout when 3rd last time at Santa Anita. Jockey Cesar Belmont and trainer George Papaprodromou are a formidable team. Worth a lot of thought in this race.

Was $12.00 and lost ground in the run home when 8th last run at Santa Anita but having second race start. Down in trip. Chances are slim.

Fresh after a break of 32 weeks. Jumped at $23.00 and kept chasing when 5th last start at Los Alamitos Th but back to a shorter distance. Most likely not today.

Odds of $36.00 and couldn't stay in touch when 7th last start at Churchill Downs and down in distance. Jockey Kyle Frey and trainer Isidro Tamayo work well together. Prefer to watch.
