Commentary

Twice a winner at this trip last year. Not quite at that level this season, though not totally disgraced with fourth of 6 over C&D in July. Needs to build on it.

What the class read says

Class levels are broadly matched — recent runs give an even picture at this grade. Its recent finishes fall short of what its mark implies — the rating may flatter it.

Dropping 2 class levels from its toughest race — well-positioned today.
