Real Gone Kid has been running consistently well at D2 level, with two strong efforts in his last three runs both clocking 17.17 seconds — speed figures of 103.8, among the fastest in this field. He races in midfield and has been running on powerfully to finish second twice, with comments noting him finishing strongly. His average performance figure is competitive in this company and the consistency is appealing — he rarely runs a bad race. The concern is the trap 4 draw, which is the weakest structural position at D2, and his mid-race running style means he may need things to unfold in front. Trainer Calvert knows the track well.
