This is the class of the field on every meaningful measure. The highest speed rating in the race by a comfortable margin — and indeed one of the highest speed figures on the whole card today. Highest composite score in the race, highest average performance alongside Patterdale Messi, and eight course and distance runs here with 2 wins at a 25% strike rate. Recent form of 78 and 72 shows she is very much in form and producing performances well above what the rest of this field can manage. Drawn in trap 5, which is the best-performing box at Newcastle 480m at 25.0% across all grades. A Closer who will do her best work late, but on the long home straight she will be travelling well within herself when others are emptying. The handicap weights cannot disguise the quality gap. Trainer C L Hardy at 14%. Hard to beat.
