Commentary

Capped a productive 3-y-o season with a hat-trick success over C&D (good to soft) last October. Below par both starts since going close in a tactical race at Hamilton in June. Lurking on a dangerous mark if return to this track/another change of headgear does the trick, though.

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.
