Commentary

Bolted up at Newcastle in January 2025 and should've followed up in the Easter Classic there 3 months later, flashing home having been left with too much to do. Seems a better horse on all-weather and has 17-month absence to overcome.

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