Composite scores shift as new form comes in, and today's data flags five dogs whose ratings have improved significantly heading into their races. These are not dogs who have simply had one decent run — the model is picking up on genuine upward movement across multiple data points.
The biggest mover is Distant Rosie, whose composite has jumped 30 points to reach 58. She runs in the 15:03 A3 at Doncaster from trap 3 over 483 metres. A 30-point gain in composite terms is a meaningful shift — it suggests her recent form has substantially upgraded the model's assessment of where she sits relative to her field. The Doncaster data gives trap 3 a 31.1% win rate, making her draw a useful bonus.
Good Acclaim (tonight's feature race selection at Nottingham) is also in this group, with a 28-point rise to 78. Much of that has been covered in today's feature article, but it is worth noting that the composite gain reflects a sustained run of top-level performance rather than a single hot race.
Arthur Lobster shows a 27-point improvement to reach 54, running in the 20:19 OR3 at Nottingham over 480 metres from trap 2. A dog crossing from 27 to 54 in composite terms has genuinely changed what the model thinks it can do. Worth a look at that race if you are following the Nottingham evening card.
Sober Gemstone (+23, now 43) runs in the 21:28 OR at Nottingham from trap 3 over 305 metres, and Foxwood Dolly (+21, now 40) is at Central Park in the 14:36 D1 from trap 3.
If you use the kennel tracker, these five are worth adding before their races today. Dogs in upward form trajectories are exactly what the tracker is built to help you follow.
