Commentary

Veteran who has come good at this time of year once again, landing a gamble when beating Supremissy by ½ length in the mud over C&D 8 days ago. Carries a 4-lb penalty and fancied to be in the shake-up once again.

What the class read says

Stepping up in class, but the evidence backs it — has run against higher-rated rivals and held its own. Its finishes have been edging past what its mark implies.

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