Back from a break. Started at $15.00 and was nothing special when 11th last time around here. Jockey K De Melo rates highly aboard. Looks to be in trouble.

Jumped at $15.00 and not competitive when 6th last time here but gets some weight relief. Yet to fire this preparation with no placings from 8 runs. Hard to see it being good enough.
