Commentary

Responded well to get up late in 12-runner handicap at Windsor in June and back to that sort of form when runner-up over same C&D in August. Disappointed here (not for the first time) since, however.

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.

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 14th of 18. Recent form is easing off.
