Odds of $16.00 and well beaten when 9th last run at Ellis Park but having second race start. Will be giving the leaders a big start. Has a positive alley. This looks a tough assignment.

Jumped at $11.00 and picked up some ground to run 5th last start at Ellis Park and having second career run. Likely to get back in the field. Will be tested in this.

Gave a strong sight when 3rd beaten by 2 1/2L last run at Ellis Park. The wide alley shouldn't be a problem with plenty of early speed. Watch the betting.
