Recent form below what he is capable of. Last start 9th over 1609m at Mohawk Park was 6th- at the bell, beaten 14 m by For Once Inmy Life (1:47.00) in 3yo+ on August 29 at $12.90. The run previous 5th (Fr8) over 1609m at Hoosier Park, beaten 15 m by Dandy Ideal (1:47.20) in DAN PATCH-G1 on August 14 at $61.50. Good enough to make amends in this line-up.
