The standout candidate in the field, combining the fastest speed rating by a clear margin at 61 with the best average performance at 56, and two wins from the last six A7 runs at Youghal — performances of 67 both times. Placed second last time (55) after a less competitive run (48), but those two wins from good performances show exactly what this dog is capable of at this track and grade. The draw in trap 4 is the second-best structural position at A7 (16.6% from 247 runs). When the fastest dog in the field has two recent wins at the same grade and track, and sits in one of the best draws on the course, that is precisely the combination the data says to follow. At a grade where speed rank 1 converts 23.2% of the time from 198 runs, the case is compelling.
