Started at $16.00 and mediocre display when 6th last run at Churchill Downs but has minimal work to do from the barrier. Should muster plenty of early toe. Outside chance.

At $28.00 average at best when 8th last time at Churchill Downs but drops back to a suitable class. Prefers to settle towards the rear. Hard to recommend.

Ran on strongly to win last time at Churchill Downs but facing formidable rivals. Change in trainer. Should race on the speed. Very competitive this preparation. Win will not surprise.
