Commentary

Capitalised on reduced mark when opening her account for the season here (6f) in August. Good in-frame efforts next 3 starts, including at Haydock (heavy) on Saturday, but form suggests she's better at 6f.

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.

Dropping 1 class level from its toughest race — well-positioned today.

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 10. Recent form is easing off.
