Odds of $11.00 and came in 5th last start at the track but can save some energy from the alley. Should race on the speed. Facing a rise in trip. One for the place and exotics betting.

At $7.50 disappointing display when 9th last time here but fitter for debut run. Rising in distance. Slim hope.

Started at $9.50 and mediocre display when 4th last run here but taking on easier opposition. Racing over more ground. Place claims at best.

Was $28.00 and mediocre performance when 10th last start at this track but going over more ground. Does take a while to get into stride. May find these too slick.
