Jumped at $4.33 and weakened under pressure when 8th last start at the track but having second career run. Wesley A Ward stable are in good form of late. Can't entertain a bet.

Was $9.00 and showed some merit late when 5th last time at Churchill Downs and fitter for debut run. Flavien Prat rates highly. Likely to get back. Would rather look at others.

Started $12.00 and lost ground in the run home when 7th last time at the track but was a debutant last start. Shows good early pace. Tough ask.
