Commentary

Mostly disappointing on the Flat and didn't offer much encouragement when a remote third of 8 (Rum Diamond second) on his C&D hurdling debut 25 days ago.

What the class read says

Stepping up in grade today, into tougher company than it has been meeting. Its recent finishes fall short of what its mark implies — the rating may flatter it.
