Leads the composite, leads on speed, and is drawn in the best structural position on the card at 22.1% for trap 6 at OR3. More importantly, Zenith Duke won at A2 grade just seven days ago — a higher standard than tonight's OR3 company — leading early and making all from the wide berth. The Front Runner profile is exactly what this trap rewards: a dog that breaks quickly from the outside and avoids the inside traffic. Speed figures are the best in the race and three visits here include one win and one place. The drop into OR3 from A2 looks like a placed effort from the trainer, and R P Rees sends runners here knowing the track. The model, the pace profile, and the structural draw all converge on the same answer.
