Won his last start at A6 with a 69 performance, stepping up one grade tonight. Career average of 54 and composite of 38 is the lowest in the field. Five course and distance runs with two wins and two places is a good record from a small sample. Form reads 69, 42, 64, 37 — the 69 last time is encouraging but the swings to 42 and 37 show inconsistency. Drawn in trap 3 at 21.1% which is decent. The class rise from A6 is manageable but the lowest composite in the field and erratic form make it difficult to see him competing with the top-rated dogs. The last-start win gives some confidence but it came at a lower level.
