Commentary

Ended a losing run here (7f) in July and backed it up off revised mark next 2 starts, likely to have finished closer with a clearer run over C&D 3 weeks ago.

What the class read says

Favourable class profile — form adjusted for the quality of opposition looks competitive here. Crucially, it keeps finishing ahead of what its handicap mark implies — it looks ahead of the handicapper.

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