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?

Skimming Along

The good ground was not its usual preference (good to firm). The 1m2f trip was outside its usual range of 1m3½f–1m6f. Its Race DNA fit before the race was 51 (mixed fit).

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