Started at $12.00 and struggled with the pace when 7th last start at this track but fitter for debut run. Shows good early pace. Back to a shorter trip. Considerable improvement needed.

Started at $14.00 and faded away to finish 5th last time at the track and will be down in distance. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Watch for a sign in the market.

Was $23.00 and sub-standard effort when 5th last start at this track. Not likely to be troubling the more fancied runners today.

Resuming. Odds of $5.00 and weakened under pressure when 4th last start at Churchill Downs. Expecting improvement but dropping in distance. Racing for a new trainer. Good chance and definitely has claims.

Odds of $28.00 and faded to finish 12th last run around here but was a debutant last start. Might be ridden for luck. Prefer in a much weaker race.
