Applied plenty of pressure when 3rd last run here. Will be giving the leaders a big start. Prefer a return to something a lot easier.

At $28.00 couldn't maintain the pace when 5th last start at the track but was on debut last time. Should be rolling forward early from the wide alley. Prefer in something a lot easier.

Odds of $43.00 and weakened to finish 6th last time at this venue but having second career run. Does take a while to get into stride. Take on trust.
