The 6-1 third choice sat fourth down on the rail early under jockey John Velazquez, saved ground on the turn, and closed well to get second in a blanket finish for place. The James Jerkens trainee improved his record to 2 wins, 3 seconds, and 0 thirds in 6 starts, earning $163,490 for owner Centennial Farms.
