Barrier 1 and 55.5kg give him a neat setup under Fernando De La Cruz for Brad H. Cox. By Street Sense out of Si Si Tequila, this 3YO colt is well drawn to save ground from the inside.

Improved sharply last start at Churchill Downs on 7 May, finishing 2nd of 7 in a Maiden Claiming 80 over 1609m, 5L behind Pampered Prince after settling 5th to 3rd with Alex Achard aboard at 53.5kg. Fourth-up now, rises to 55.5kg, draws barrier 2 and wears blinkers; a repeat of that latest run would see him competitive.

Led and boxed on for 4th, 1.3L, in a 1609m Maiden Special Weight 82 at Horseshoe Indianapolis last start. Prior run was a close 2nd by 0.5L over the same trip here behind Astound, and he’s 2:0-1-0 at the track with Martin Garcia likewise 2:0-1-0 aboard. Draws barrier 5 and wears blinkers; profiles to give a solid account.

Placed 3rd last start at Churchill Downs on 16 May over 1710m (Maiden Claiming 83), 7.8L behind Paul's Recovery on SY after settling 5th, carrying 53.5kg in a 6-runner field. Fourth-up now and up to 55.5kg, with prior efforts including 6th in a Churchill Maiden Claiming 87 (1710m, FM) and 7th in a Keeneland MSW 95. The profile (4:0-0-1) is trending the right way and he can be competitive again.

Debuted with a solid 4th/6 at Santa Anita on 2 Apr over 1609m (Maiden Special Weight 92), beaten 3.3L behind Memory after tracking 5th/4th and carrying 54kg. Found 1710m at Churchill Downs on 25 May tougher when 9th/11, 11L off Siyouincanada on FM, and now third-up with a 2kg lift to 55.5kg from barrier 7, looking to rebound.
