Commentary

Landed the Bunbury Cup at Newmarket (7f) for the second time in July. Has continued in good form, third in International over C&D and a neck second of 16 at Newbury (7f, firm) 2 weeks ago when having to weave through. Well in the mix off same mark.

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 10th of 18.
