Commentary

Has found one too strong in his 7-race career so far, most recently upped to 1m in 8-runner nursery at Sandown (good to soft) just under a fortnight ago, looking a serious threat to the winner but unable to go by. Upped in grade and hard to see him breaking his duck in this.

What the class read says

Stepping up in grade today, into tougher company than it has been meeting. Crucially, it keeps finishing ahead of what its handicap mark implies — it looks ahead of the handicapper.

Ran mid-division in 1 of 1 higher-class runs.

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