   Was running in maiden special weight; today's maiden claiming $35,000 is an easier level on paper. Last race was on the turf; today it runs on the dirt.

   PACE CHALLENGE Running style isn't established yet, so the pace read is a blank for this one.

   TROUBLED TRIP Chart note from last time: 4-5w upper; wknd late. A trip worth forgiving, though the number already carries it.
