Back from a break of 156 weeks. Kept chasing when 4th last run at Keeneland and fitter for debut run. Will be trying to topple them late. May find these too slick.

Fresh today after a break. Maintained a solid pace but eventually weakened to finish 3rd beaten by 4 3/4L last run here. One of the punters top hopes.

Resuming after a spell. Was amongst the placegetters when 2nd beaten by 1/2L last run at this track and having second career run. Should muster plenty of early speed. Nice chance at a very tempting price.
