First-up after 16 months, he draws barrier 2 and rises 2kg to 56.5kg. Last start at Fair Grounds over 1207m (Maiden Claiming 64, SP 15) he was handy before fading to 7th, having earlier finished 2nd at Louisiana Downs in a Maiden Claiming 61. With the improved gate, a forward run is possible if he reproduces that Louisiana Downs effort.

Chased home for 2nd/9 at Evangeline Downs (1207m, Maiden Claiming 62) on 2 May, beaten 5L by Analitico after settling 5th and carrying 51.7kg. Returns to the same trip where he’s 1:0-1-0, with Javier Hernandez aboard again (combo 2:0-1-0). Blinkers are applied and he drops 2kg to 49.7kg with the claim, which gives him a light-weight chance to hold form.

Closed out his first prep with 9th of 9 at Delta Downs over 1308m in a Maiden Special Weight on Feb 7, beaten 21.4L (SP 101) behind Big Woods. Debut prior was 10th of 10 over 1006m in a Maiden Special Weight, beaten 27.3L (SP 61). Resumes after four months with blinkers on and a better draw in barrier 4, so any improvement first-up would not surprise.

Carries 49.7kg after the 2.3kg claim from apprentice Jonuelle Pena, down from his 52kg allocation. Drawn barrier 5 for trainer Raul Rangel. Light weight and a reasonable gate offer a practical set-up.

First-up after 5 months with blinkers added, he owns a 1207m record of (3:0-0-2) and has placed fresh before. Most recently 3rd at Fair Grounds over 1207m in a Maiden Claiming 71, beaten 19L at $15, after a 3rd in an Evangeline Downs Maiden Special Weight 73 over 1207m, 2.8L off at $29; consistent at the trip and capable of running to that level again.
