Commentary

Dual all-weather winner for other yards and gained a first turf success over 6f at Hamilton (good) 4 weeks ago, just his second outing for Linda Perratt. A 5 lb penalty demands more, though.

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.
