Lightly-raced and late developing type who has won all three races this term including a victory over Sierra Leone in the Stephen Foster Stakes at Churchill Downs (1m1f); beaten on only start over this trip so stamina concerns

Got to within a neck of Mindframe in the Grade 1 Churchill Downs Stakes back in May; similar levels of form on last three starts but those runs were at a lower level over shorter distances; big stamina concerns
