Commentary

Phoenix Stakes winner at 2 who has been overfaced at Group 1 level this season but bounced back to win a Group 2 at this course over 7f in July (beating Big Gossey). Struggled back at the top level last time but this drop in grade will help and he looks a big player back at 6f.

What the class read says

The stable looks to have run this horse in stronger races to keep its official rating low — today's class drop may be intentional. Worth watching at a price. Its finishes have been edging past what its mark implies.

Held its own mid-division in 4 of 5 stronger races — solid form context.

Dropping 0 class level from its toughest race — well-positioned today.
