The class act of the contest with a composite of 56 that is eleven points clear of anything else in the field — a gap that at Star Pelaw 435 metres historically converts at 34.4%. He won this exact race last time going quick away, always leading, and clocking 26.21 for a P97 rating, and the run before that earned a P96. The suitability profile is exceptional: track 68, distance 71 and trap 47, all comfortably the best in the field. The performance average of 81 leads the race and the first-bend rating of 56 is also best, confirming his ability to implement the front-running style that Star Pelaw demands. Trap five at OR manages just 16.18%, the second-worst draw, and that is the sole negative in an otherwise dominant profile. But when the composite gap is this large and the dog has already won making all from a wide draw, the trap statistics become academic. His best time of 25.71 is competitive and the consistency of P97, P96, P83 in his last three runs suggests a dog at the peak of his form.
