Good run when finishing 3rd beaten by 1L last run here. Manuel Franco and Chad C Brown must be respected together. Has good closing speed. Prefer in something weaker.

3yo by Oscar Performance having initial appearance for trainer William Walden. Jockey Irad Ortiz Jr is an asset. Respect the betting.

Resuming. Managed to finish 3rd last run at Aqueduct and putting a tidy record together so far. Will need everything to go right.

Started $10.00 and not up to standard when 7th last start at this venue. Seems very unlikely.
