First run back from a break. Improved to place when 3rd beaten by 22L last time at Aqueduct and can find a nice position from the draw. No surprise to see solid support in the betting.

Jumped at $2.88 and ran 5th last start at Churchill Downs. Capable of bouncing back and dropping in class. Should muster plenty of early toe. Back in trip. Will go close here.

First up from a break of 21 weeks and was eating up the ground late when winning first up last preparation at Tampa Bay Downs. Can go through the gears. Needs significant improvement.
