Jumped at $2.70 and ran 4th last start at the track. Expecting improvement here and has the ideal box. Should get going late. Stepping back up in trip. Represents value in this race.

Odds of $46.00 and was nothing special when 7th last start at the track but returns to a rise in trip. Others are more appealing.
