Commentary

Very useful hurdler who doubled his tally in 5-runner listed hurdle at Gowran (2m, good to soft) 27 days ago by 8½ lengths from Gaucher. Must enter calculations for stable that has fine record in this event.

What the class read says

Ran competitively despite going/trip that didn't suit it, at this same level — those runs look worse on paper than they were. Back in its own suited conditions today. A caution, though: it has NOT been beating its handicap mark — the favourable class picture isn't yet backed by mark-adjusted finishes.

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