The selection, and a straightforward one on class grounds. He has been competing at S2 and S3 level — which is significantly harder than tonight's S4 — and posting performances of 70, 78, 75, and 54 at those grades. The best of that form (75 and 78 at S2) would be seriously competitive in S4 company, and the grade drop provides real class relief. His most recent run was a third place at S3 (70 perf), perfectly acceptable at that harder level. He has multiple Tralee 325m runs under his belt at tougher grades, giving him significant course experience. In an S4 heat against dogs who have been competing at S5, S6 and below, or dogs with very limited form, the quality advantage is clear. The only structural caveat is that the trap and distance condition data is too small to add specific bias guidance, but on raw form and class this is the most credible runner in the field.
