Commentary

Winless since capitalising on a pace collapse at Grand National meeting in 2024. Did post plenty of creditable efforts in defeat from his slipping mark last season. Relatively quick turnaround suggests he's over whatever troubled him (appeared to go wrong) on return at Perth last month.

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

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 11th of 11. Recent form is easing off.
