Placed 2nd last start at Kentucky Downs. Will be positive in the run early. Amongst the placegetters at every start this preparation. Solid claims.

Was $8.00 and ran 4th last run at Churchill Downs but having second race start. Should be going forward early. Irad Ortiz Jr is an advantage. Should be included in your exotics.

Nice effort to run into 3rd beaten by more than 15L last time at Churchill Downs. Has a nice turn of foot. Has some claims.

Odds of $43.00 and ordinary performance when 9th last run at Churchill Downs. Likely to get back. Need a lot of luck to be close to winning this.
