Odds of $6.50 and didn't find the line when 10th last start at Kentucky Downs but fitter for debut run. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Highly unlikely it will trouble the judge.

Started at $16.00 and didn't attack the line when 7th last run around here but was on debut last time. Has a positive draw. Looks hopeful.

Started at $12.00 and couldn't maintain the pace when 8th last run at Churchill Downs but was a debutant last start. Displays good tactical speed. Few more classier types in this race.

At $23.00 gave away some ground when 8th last time at Kentucky Downs and back in trip. Needs significant improvement.

Fresh today after a break. Odds of $43.00 and sub-standard effort when 7th last run at Churchill Downs. Likely to get back in the field. Hard to recommend.
