Commentary

Admirable dual-purpose performer who finished eighth in the Melbourne Cup when last seen on the Flat. Subsequent 3 runs over hurdles were miles from his best (possibly feeling the effects of his globetrotting). Feasibly treated if back on song following 4 months away.

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 6th of 33.
