Emmas Teddy has the clear class advantage in this A7 contest at AP54, sitting 4 points above the next best. While his Fader profile (EP76/CS0) would normally be concerning at Newcastle 480m, several factors work in his favour here. First, the class gap: at A7 level, a 4-point AP advantage is significant and means he can afford to lose ground late and still prevail. Second, his pace consistency is exceptional at PC90 — the highest in the field — meaning you know exactly what you're getting: reliable early speed with predictable run patterns. Third, his C&D record is by far the best here: 10 runs, 2 wins, 4 places (40% place rate), proving he CAN win at this venue despite the Fader tag. The T6 draw gives him early width but at Newcastle this isn't a major disadvantage. In a weak field where no closer has strong enough finishing speed to reel him in (Emers Cian has CS62 but 0 C&D wins, Anglesey Rolex has CS100 but PC32), his class and consistency should carry him through.
