Commentary

Dual listed winner last season for Michael Appleby and sound start for new yard when third in the Palace House. Hasn't quite built on that in 3 subsequent outings and cheekpieces are now applied.

What the class read says

Has campaigned at a higher grade and now drops into weaker company. Dropping in class here looks deliberate, not a concession. Its finishes have been edging past what its mark implies.

Held its own mid-division in 2 of 2 stronger races — solid form context.

Dropping 0 class level from its toughest race — well-positioned today.
