Bubbly Blackbird's speed and bend figures are off the charts — 88 and 100 respectively, in a field where nobody else exceeds 60 on either measure. That raw physical superiority is the defining feature of this race. She'll lead this field by lengths through the first two bends and the question is simply whether she can sustain that advantage over the full 575 metres. She's a fader with maximum early pace but zero closing speed, and the staying trip will test her stamina. That said, her lead could be so great that even significant fading leaves her in front. Zero distance form is a concern — distance suitability of 0 — and trap 5 at 15.4% isn't ideal. But the talent gap to these rivals is enormous.
