Five wins last year (two C&D); respectable reappearance; could show benefit of that run

Prolific last year after moving into handicaps; no surprise to see a bold bid on return
1 (9)	Raulin Bay J:David Nolan T:David O'Meara	J:David Nolan T:David O'Meara	136	—	44116-	86	98	81	203d	—	—	+17	22.4	4.50/1	18/1 5%
