Ran on strongly when 3rd last run at the track and was a debutant last start. Stepping up in distance. Will appreciate a good alley. Will need to find a few more lengths.

2yo debutant sired by Violence for trainer Brad H Cox and can find a nice position from the draw. Luan Machado is a smart booking. Market as guide.

Claimed late when 2nd beaten by 1/2L last start at Horseshoe Indianapolis. Displays good tactical speed. Will find this tough.

At $11.00 passed some rivals in the late stages when 5th last time around here and having second race start. Does take a while to get into stride. Will need to elevate.

At $12.00 edged past some when finishing 5th last time at this track and having second career run. Will be giving the leaders a big start. Facing an increased distance. Unlikely to go close.

Odds of $9.50 and finished 4th last time at this track. The wide barrier shouldn't be a problem with plenty of early speed. May find these too slick.
