Yet to fire this season despite dropping below his winning marks. Cheekpieces removed and now dropped in grade and trip but hard to be confident about in current heart.

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.

Held its own mid-division in 5 of 5 stronger races — solid form context.

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