Commentary

Made good progress in 2025, winning 3 times, but hasn't quite been in the same form this campaign, albeit in some competitive handicaps last 2 starts. Needs this significant drop back in trip to spark a revival.

What the class read says

The stable looks to have run this horse in stronger races to keep its official rating low — today's class drop may be intentional. Worth watching at a price. Its finishes have been edging past what its mark implies.

Held its own mid-division in 6 of 6 stronger races — solid form context.

Dropping 2 class levels from its toughest race — well-positioned today.
