The standout runner on the Enniscorthy card tonight. His form over the last six starts is extraordinary: 84, 96, 84, 70, 90, 61 — four of those runs at A1 level, with a stunning 96 when winning at A1 two starts ago. An average performance of 81 is the highest in the race and the fastest speed rating of 58 is five points clear of the nearest rival. He drops from A1 to A2 tonight, a class relief that should bring out the best in him. The icing on the cake is trap 4, the best-performing box at A2 Enniscorthy at 25% from 64 runs. His distance suitability of 15 is the one concern — he's been running over 575 metres in his last two starts and tonight's 525 is shorter. But his trap suitability of 49 confirms he's raced from this box before. When the best dog gets the best trap at a track where the R2 often upsets the R1, you have to acknowledge the risk — but the quality gap should be enough.
