Commentary

Clear best effort this year when winning over C&D in September, beating Believeinmenow. Only eighth of 10 at Southwell earlier this month but returns to a venue where she's won both outings so could well get back on track.

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. Crucially, it keeps finishing ahead of what its handicap mark implies — it looks ahead of the handicapper.

Dropping 4 class levels from its toughest race — well-positioned today.
