Comments

Failed to impress last start; then settled down to finish fifth over 2138m at this track last start. Showed ability the outing before when he won by 2.25 m when driven back in the field, when quickly away, (Fr3) held up early, at this track (1:57.70) beating Not As Promised in 4yo+ No NR on April 4 at $9.50. Can feature with even luck.

Expected Settling Position: Off Midfield
