Commentary

Landed mares handicap hurdle over C&D at this meeting last year. Sent chasing this season, ran well when second in 19f maiden here in June and soon left behind a lesser effort when third in handicap at Killarney (23f) 5 weeks ago. Interesting back over hurdles here.

What the class read says

Ran competitively despite going/trip that didn't suit it, at this same level — those runs look worse on paper than they were. Back in its own suited conditions today. A caution, though: it has NOT been beating its handicap mark — the favourable class picture isn't yet backed by mark-adjusted finishes.

What the projection says

Finishes ahead of its price historically, but the delivery record alone does not predict today's finish — it only counts alongside a short-priced top pick. Projected 1st of 17.
