Commentary

Doesn't arrive in much form (pulled up on last 3 outings over fences) but the fact he's won this race for the last 2 years means it wouldn't be a shock were he to bounce back with a bang.

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 7th of 13. Recent form is on the up.
