Comment: Third here when 5-4 in a claimer with three of these in behind two months ago; encouragement to be gleaned from latest effort so should make a bold bid.

Comment: Came home fifth, beaten 10l, in a claimer at Parx three weeks ago upped to this trip; calmer waters here (in for $5k, $7.5k tag last time); has shown glimpses of ability recently and he should go close.
