Drops in class tonight having raced exclusively at A6 and A7 in his last six starts, and that experience at a higher level gives him an edge these rivals cannot match on the clock. The fastest dog in the field by some distance — his best of 28.09 is half a second quicker than most of these have ever run — and he carries the best average performance in the race. Drawn in the grade-specific best trap, with trap 4 winning over 20% at A8 grade, and trainer Miller operating at a superb 28% strike rate. Was crowded at the first bend two starts ago which partly explains the recent dip in figures. Still a young dog at under two years old with plenty of scope for further improvement. The class drop paired with the best draw and the best trainer makes him the one to beat.
