Odds of $43.00 and lost momentum late when 4th last time at this track. Has shown early pace in races to date. Would rather look at others.

Resumes from a break of 32 weeks. Started $36.00 and ran 7th last time at Saratoga but was on debut last time. Might have to make up considerable ground. Tough ask.

Resuming after a spell of 39 weeks. Started $23.00 and faded away to finish 6th last start at Ellis Park but fitter for debut run. Highly unlikely to feature here.

Odds of $16.00 and was making up some late ground when 4th last time at this venue. Scott Spieth and S Matthew Kintz work well together. Has some claims.
