Resuming after a break. At $23.00 faded to finish 8th last time at Oaklawn Park but has the ideal alley. Should race on the speed. Hard to recommend.

Ran on when 3rd last run at Churchill Downs. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. First start for a new trainer. Should give this a shake.

Started at $36.00 and disappointing effort when 11th last run at Churchill Downs but was a debutant last start. Expected to settle towards the rear. Won't find this easy.

At $23.00 picked up some late ground when 5th last start at Churchill Downs. Yet to fire a shot in 8 runs. Prefers to settle towards the tail. Hard to entertain.

Started at $14.00 and ran 4th last run at Churchill Downs but stepping up in distance. This field likely to be too good.

Fresh from a break. Was $18.00 and didn't find the line when 7th last time at Oaklawn Park. The wide gate shouldn't be a problem with plenty of early speed. Has some claims.

Odds of $23.00 and below par performance when 8th last time at Churchill Downs but rising in distance. Rough hope.
