Odds of $3.60 and didn't find the line when 6th last time at Aqueduct but up against a less competitive field. Recent form of the stable is strong. Can win.

Showed strength on the speed initially before fading at the end 3rd last run here but dropping back to a shorter trip. Likely to be well placed early. Watch the betting.
