Jumped at $7.00 and moved through the field into 5th last run at Churchill Downs and having second career run. Likely to settle back in the field. This looks a tough assignment.

Amongst the placegetters when 3rd last start here. Has run into the money 2 from 2 attempts this campaign. Has the necessary speed to mitigate the wide draw. Can measure up against these.
