Commentary

Knocking on the door prior to emphatically resuming winning ways at Musselburgh (13f) in late-July. Couldn't extend her run of good form back under much more testing conditions at Hamilton subsequently and may need to come back down the handicap now.

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.

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