C&D winner who seemed to be going through the motions when last seen earlier in the summer. Tongue strap back on.

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 9th of 13. Recent form is easing off.
