A fader with the best speed and bend combination in the field, which should see her lead early and potentially dictate the race. Joint-highest on average performance at 69 with a string of solid recent efforts in the 60s and 70s at this grade. Her suitability profile is the best all-round in the race with good track, distance and trap credentials. She ran a clear race in fifth last time which was below par, but her overall body of work at Newcastle is strong. The concern is the structurally dead trap 6 draw which is the worst position at these conditions.
Dropping in grade with a strong finishing kick - the main danger if she gets a clean run, though low suitability is a worry.
Dominant trap draw with an elite trainer give her a structural edge that the ratings may not fully capture.
Promising young fader from a strong draw who should lead early but limited experience and fading tendencies are concerns.
Consistent performer with a good trainer but very low venue suitability suggests Newcastle does not play to his strengths.
Structurally well drawn but wildly inconsistent and low suitability scores make him a risky proposition.
Low separation at A2. The pick Delvin Cat is in the dead trap 6 but has the best suitability convergence in the field (track 56, trap 55). Ballycian Baby in the dominant trap 1 with a 46% trainer is the structural alternative.
