Fresh today. Flashed home late into 3rd beaten by 9L last run at Aqueduct and fitter for debut run. Tyler Gaffalione and Carlos F Martin are an imposing duo. Watching with interest.

Back from a 27 week break. Displayed good finishing speed when 3rd beaten by 3 1/4L last run at Tampa Bay Downs. Jockey Flavien Prat is in form. Tough competitor.

Started $5.00 and inched into 4th last start at Churchill Downs. Should muster plenty of early speed. Jockey Irad Ortiz Jr is a bonus. Very competitive this preparation. Will go very close.

Fresh after spell of 46 weeks. Started at $8.50 and fairly underwhelming when 6th last run at this venue but having second race start. Hard to take.

Jumped at $43.00 and ran on into 5th last start at Aqueduct and having second career run. Likely to settle back in the field. Tough ask.
