Even money in maiden special weight, this comeback colt broke last from rail, rushed forward to chase fast pace, and cracked in stretch in a better-than-looked comeback start.

Finish: 1st by 1 3/4

Improving turf sprinter chased fast pace and came away in a strong race for the level. Vastly improved 3-year-old gelding can handle second-level allowance rivals in next.

Finish: 3rd by 2
Beyer: 87
Six furlongs out of reach for entry-level allowance turf sprinter. Set fast pace, battled to deep stretch, tired. Speedster will relish cutback to five furlongs on turf at Del Mar.
