Odds of $18.00 and couldn't maintain the pace when 6th last start at Delaware Park. Expected to rebound but facing a stronger grade. Respected competitor.

Led throughout to win by a margin of 2L last start at Timonium and racing over a longer distance. Likely to be well placed early. Coming to a new trainer. Tough competitor.

First up. Went to the front and never looked back when winning by a margin of just over 20L last run at Colonial Downs and showing consistent performance in races. Should put in a decent effort.
