Commentary

Isn't the easiest to win with. Best not judged too harshly on his latest run here (6f), travelling well but getting pretty much no luck whatsoever. Big-field 5f handicap could suit his style, though.

What the projection says

Edging ahead of its price lately — not a standalone signal; it only counts alongside a short-priced top pick. Projected 11th of 20. Recent form is on the up.
