Last start solid effort when 2nd (Fr5) over 1609m at this track, beaten 6 m by Bentley Blue Chip (1:52.20) in KNDRGARTEN-G3 on October 31 at $4.10. Two runs back won by a 0.9 m (Fr9) at this track (1:53.40) beating Seven Pledges in KNDRGARTEN on October 23 at $13.10. Has the right credentials to take this out.
