Odds of $91.00 and mediocre display when 7th last time at this track but having second career run. Facing an increased distance. Not likely to be troubling the more fancied runners today.

Was $126.00 and ordinary when 13th last start here but going up in trip. Has struggled so far this preparation but can find a nice position from the draw. Most likely not today.

Odds of $81.00 and not up to scratch when 11th last start at this track but going over more ground. Will be a tough ask.
