The Pred1 projected winner with field-best speed (67) and field-best bend rating (64) — the two most important attributes at 245m. These numbers should put her clear at the bend, and at sprint distance the lead from the bend to the line is usually decisive. Recent form shows a D5 245m win (P28, 1st) two runs ago, plus multiple runs at higher grades (A8 435m). The form trajectory reads 31-37-35-60-45 in average terms — modest but the speed and bend ratings tell the story that raw performance numbers do not capture at sprints. Trainer K A Kennedy at 28% is the joint-best in the field. Track suit 39 and distance suit 21 are moderate. The concern is the Fader profile (EP 57, CS 41, pace consistency 80) — at 435m she fades, but at 245m the trip should be short enough that the fade does not kick in before the line. T5 wins 16.7% from 12 runs — tiny sample, no structural read. This is a Tentative selection because the D5 data is so limited and the field quality is unpredictable, but the speed and bend combination is the strongest in the field.
