Only a single win from his eight ’15 starts, and that came back in Aug at the Spa while beating OptAlw types.  He’s been rested since Oct and has a string a bullet works that makes it look like the time off was just what the doctor ordered.  It certainly looks like the barn had him aimed at this race, so let’s see if he gets back on form.

Three wins from eight starts but he put some good money in the bank along the way.  His last win came back in May, although he just missed at KEE in a GI in Oct.  Only two published works in recent times, so the farm seems to be where he likes to get ready for races.  I think this one will fire big today and you should give him a shot.

He missed the board one time in eight starts last season and that was a fourth place finish where he was only beaten a length.  Consistency is certainly his badge but I’m just not sure that the 7f distance is what he’s looking for.  He’s back on short rest, running at GG on New Year’s day where he just missed at 5f.

Only one win from his ten season lasts last year, but he still was able to earn a few pennies along the way.  He’s was third in the SSM Turf last year, tiring a bit in the late going there, so this distance may be a bit more to his liking.  The morning gallops are pretty nice and he looks ready to give a big effort.

His only time off of the board last season was a fifth place finish while facing graded types in the Jersey Shore (GIII).  The down side is he hasn’t won since July at GP going 7f on the dirt.  He has one win from two starts on the grass and doesn’t show any work on the grass, so that is a bit of a question mark.
