Commentary

With 2 runs over hurdles behind him, took advantage of his reduced mark when landing the odds in 3-runner contest here (2¾m) last month, though one of his rivals failed to give their running. Now a 5-time course winner but faces a tougher ask in this contest.

What the class read says

Class levels are broadly matched — recent runs give an even picture at this grade. Its recent finishes fall short of what its mark implies — the rating may flatter it.

Dropping 1 class level from its toughest race — well-positioned today.
