Course winner. 9/2, career best when winning 10-runner minor event at Vaal (1½m, good to soft) 16 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

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.

Held its own mid-division in 2 of 3 stronger races — solid form context.

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

Class-adjusted form 4.3 /10 (raw 4.1)
