First run back after a break. Odds of $8.00 and didn't threaten when 6th last run at Turf Paradise but having second race start. Drawn nicely. Seems unlikely.

Racing fresh today after a 30 week break. At $7.00 tailed off when 4th last run at Santa Anita and will be facing a significant drop in distance. Can't leave out of your calculations.

Started at $16.00 and folded up in the straight when 12th last time at Los Alamitos Th and dropping in distance. Likely to get back in the field. Entitled to be big odds.
