Top-rated on every key metric with a performance average of 69, composite of 66, and a field speed of 78 that leaves the rest standing. Her OR2 campaign shows she has been competing at a level several grades above this field — finishing fifth in open race company where the competition is the strongest in the sport. Dropped back to handicap level, she looks very well treated. Won impressively two starts ago when leading from the first bend despite starting slowly, and her closing speed on Newcastle's long home straight is an asset. The wide draw is the only negative, but the handicapper should compensate and her sheer superiority on ratings makes her the clear pick in this contest.
