Carries the highest average performance rating in the field by a considerable margin, and recent runs justify the number. Last time out at this grade produced a P79 rated second place ('Rls,RanOnWell') over this exact trip and distance - genuine A2 form. One run earlier brought a P89 at S1 staying distance of 660 metres, leading and rallying to finish second in what was an exceptional performance by any standard, demonstrating both stamina and early pace ability simultaneously. One run prior to that was a P60 hampered by interference at bend three and a further bump at bend four - effectively a non-race. Has also run at A1 level (P65 with a check at bend one). The Closer pace profile (EP=0) is the only technical concern in a 5-runner race, but reduced field size means gaps appear more readily and the dog does not need to be first to the bend - she needs to be close enough to strike in the final two bends. The raw performance differential between this runner and the rest of the field is the primary analytical case.
