Noirs Bono is clearly the best dog in this field on ratings — his average performance of 46 is nearly twenty points above the field average, an enormous gap at D3 level. He's an All-Rounder with decent early pace and a perfect closing speed ratio, giving him the ability to lead or close depending on how the race unfolds. His form has dipped recently with a 28 last time out in D3, but his earlier efforts of 31 and 26 show he's competitive at this level, and the high average suggests these recent runs are below his true ability. Trap 3 wins 20.27% which is slightly above expected, and his trap suitability of 58 is the best in the race. The class edge is simply too large for the others to overcome.
