Backs up quickly. Started $7.50 and weakened under pressure when 6th last run at this track. First race for a new trainer. Should race on the speed. Watching with interest.

Racing fresh after a break. Odds of $28.00 and couldn't stay in touch when 5th last time at Aqueduct but having second career run. Looking elsewhere today.

Odds of $5.00 and tailed off to finish 7th last start around here but fitter for debut run. This field likely to be too good.

Backing up quickly. At $6.50 kept chasing when 4th last run at this venue and having second career run. Stable is in form. Likely to get back. Needs a mighty effort to win this.
