Commentary

Shaped very well when third of 13 in a maiden at this track over 1m on debut in mid-August, finishing well. Takes a significant step up to listed class and drops in trip but is open to improvement for top connections.

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 8th of 11. Recent form is on the up.
