Odds of $18.00 and average at best when 7th last start at Churchill Downs but fitter for debut run. Gets back and needs luck. Would be more keen on the chance of others.

Nice effort to run into 2nd beaten by 3 3/4L last run at the track. Likely to be well placed early. Prefer in a much weaker race.
