Best average performance in the field at 51 with the most solid competitive form. Performance of 61, 59, 56, 60, 26, 42 across A9, A9, HP, HP, HP, HP grades. The A9 form of 61 and 59 is genuine quality above today's A8 level — two grades higher. The HP form shows a range of 26-60 with recent dips (26, 42) that are concerning. Closer profile (EP 37, CS 76) means she will be last through the difficult first bend — a genuine risk at Sunderland where bend handling matters. Speed 54 is joint-best in the field. Stark at 26% is a moderate trainer. T1 wins just 15.25% from 59 runs — the worst trap. The pick is based on the A9 class drop (two grades above A8) and best avgP, despite the worst trap and Closer profile. At Sunderland 450m with 24% all-the-way winners, closers can make ground, and the long home straight gives her time. The difficult bend is the risk — she takes the widest path from T1 but as a Closer she is behind the traffic anyway.
