Speed rank one at 63 and performance rank one at 41 — the fastest and best-performed dog on raw metrics. However, a Fader with early pace of 63 from trap six at Romford 400m cannot be selected. The Fader-from-outside rule at this track is absolute: a dog that burns energy early from the widest draw on a tight 400m circuit goes wide into the first bend, uses maximum reserves, and typically fades through the back straight and into the final turn. One win from ten course-and-distance starts confirms this has been a recurring pattern. Trainer M E Wiley at 14% provides no mitigating factor. If the race somehow produces a clean early break and the dog can sustain, she could win — but the structural case eliminates the selection.
