Very hot as a 2yo, and now entering his 4th<\/SUP> year, this Tiznow scratch bred colt is looking to regain his status as a graded worthy steed.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Coming off two wins in his last three outs after a two month rest, we\u2019ll see if that indeed takes place.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Colt appears to have matured enough to throw consistent 100SP\u2019s and should be able to handle this level once again.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Versatility in running style helps here.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><\/TD><\/TR>
