A second in a minor stakes followed prior to a half-length triumph over six furlongs in an allowance optional claimer here in December. The extra distance here should prove no issue and he can make the perfect start to his three-year-old campaign.

The selection ended his two-year-old campaign with a hard fought nose success in the mile-and-one-eighth Remsen Stakes at Aqueduct and he can complete a hat-trick dropping slightly in trip on his Florida debut.
