Commentary

Smart horse. Improved on recent efforts to win 6-runner minor event (91/100) at this C&D (good) 34 days ago by ¾ length from Hawkbill. Very hard to make a case for.

What the class read says

The stable looks to have run this horse in stronger races to keep its official rating low — today's class drop may be intentional. Worth watching at a price. Its finishes have been edging past what its mark implies.

Held its own mid-division in 3 of 4 stronger races — solid form context.

Dropping 4 class levels from its toughest race — well-positioned today.
