Last start 7th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track, well beaten by Minoan (1:55.30) in W2BNMT4 on June 17 at $2.67. Before that, a solid effort when 2nd (Fr5) over 1609m at this track, beaten a neck by Goya (1:58.00) in W2BNMT4 on June 6 at $3.10. Capable of more than he has shown recently. Respect.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing fourth behind Non Disclosure at Pocono Downs over 1609m in a W4-7PM on May 30 at $2.80. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing second behind Wish List at this track over 1609m in a W2BNMT5 on June 10 at $1.82. Can improve. Very hard to beat.

Didn't do much last start, 6th (Fr6) over 1609m at Pocono Downs, beaten 15 m by Skydiver (1:56.00) in W2-6PM on June 16 at $20.60. Before that 5th (Fr6) over 1609m at Pocono Downs beaten 13 m by Royally Bred (1:57.30) in NW2PM FM on June 7 at $5.90. Even the minor placings look out of reach.
