Commentary

Ridden with more restraint than of late when gaining a first win of 2026 in 5-runner handicap at Hamilton (1m, firm) 23 days ago. Up in class but this consistent sort is not out of things.

What the class read says

Stepping up in class, but the evidence backs it — has run against higher-rated rivals and held its own. Crucially, it keeps finishing ahead of what its handicap mark implies — it looks ahead of the handicapper.
