Boasts a 5:3-0-0 record and has won 3 of 4 at Horseshoe Indianapolis, all with Mitchell Murrill (combo 5:3-0-0). Second-up after a 7th of 9 in a Keeneland Stakes 96 over 1710m on 11 Apr, beaten 22.8L; now drops 604m to race with 55.5kg from barrier 2. The sharp drop in trip and soft draw give him a chance to rebound if he reproduces his prior Horseshoe Indianapolis stakes form.

Impressive last-start winner at Horseshoe Indianapolis on 29 Apr over 1207m (Allowance 79), rolling forward and putting 6.5L on Mommas Wish with Micah Meeks aboard. Third-up with the same rider and up to 55.5kg, his strong local profile (track 3:2-0-1; 1106m 2:1-0-1) makes him a solid chance again.
