Commentary

C&D maiden winner in February who posted easily his best effort since when second in a 1m claimer at same course in May. However, exploits subsequently on turf have been disappointing.

What the class read says

Ran competitively despite going/trip that didn't suit it, at this same level — those runs look worse on paper than they were. Back in its own suited conditions today. A caution, though: it has NOT been beating its handicap mark — the favourable class picture isn't yet backed by mark-adjusted finishes.
