About fit scores: Race DNA compares today's conditions (going, trip and course) with the conditions a horse has shown it handles. It is an analysis aid to help you form your own view – not a prediction, a tip or a recommendation to bet.

Why did it win?

Distillate

The standard ground was not its usual preference (good to firm). The 7f trip sits inside its best range. Its Race DNA fit before the race was 59 (mixed fit).

Our read from the result and the race conditions. An explanation, not a prediction.
