Commentary

Off the mark at fifth attempt for David O'Meara when landing 10-runner handicap at Southwell in August. Not seen to best effect when 5½ lengths fifth of 12 to Gladiadora over same C&D last time. Her style of racing should be well suited to this track and bold bid anticipated.

What the class read says

The stable looks to have run this horse in stronger races to keep its official rating low — today's class drop may be intentional. Worth watching at a price. Crucially, it keeps finishing ahead of what its handicap mark implies — it looks ahead of the handicapper.

Held its own mid-division in 2 of 4 stronger races — solid form context.

Dropping 2 class levels from its toughest race — well-positioned today.
