Commentary

In the early stages of his meteoric rise when successful in this corresponding event 12 months ago. Now off a 14 lb higher mark, though, and hasn't gone on at all from a satisfactory seasonal reappearance.

What the class read says

Stepping up in class, but the evidence backs it — has run against higher-rated rivals and held its own. 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 10th of 12.
