Commentary

Hasn't obviously been shaping as if he's likely to snap a long losing run but the fact he's a 3-time C&D winner, including this race in 2020 and 2023, makes him a dangerous one to discount.

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