Commentary

Off the mark in classified stakes over at Newcastle (1¼m) in March and justified that support dropped back into that company when winning at the same C&D last week. Makes appeal again under a penalty.

What the class read says

Class levels are broadly matched — recent runs give an even picture at this grade. Crucially, it keeps finishing ahead of what its handicap mark implies — it looks ahead of the handicapper.

Dropping 1 class level from its toughest race — well-positioned today.
