Resumes after a spell of 46 weeks. Was $42.00 and didn't threaten when 11th last time here but can find a nice position from the draw. Priced to finish behind most.

First run back after a 32 week spell. At $10.00 couldn't maintain the pace when 8th last start at this track and back to a shorter trip. Hard to recommend with any confidence.

Resuming after a 32 week spell. Didn't attack the line when 9th last time at Finger Lakes. Looking for an improved run. Will be fighting out the finish.
