Commentary

Looked stretched by longer trip at Perth latest and had posted good second in C&D handicap hurdle previously. One for the shortlist.

What the class read says

Stepping up in class, but the evidence backs it — has run against higher-rated rivals and held its own. A caution, though: it has NOT been beating its handicap mark — the favourable class picture isn't yet backed by mark-adjusted finishes.

Dropping 3 class levels from its toughest race — well-positioned today.
