This second A4 event uses the same Clonmel numbers as earlier on the card — speed rating remains the standout factor at 25.3% win rate for the fastest dog, and trap 6 (18.6%) and trap 1 (18.0%) are again the best boxes, with trap 3 the weak link at just 9.3%. Bionic Blue Sky ticks the two biggest boxes at once: she shares the model's top composite score and sits in the best trap, fresh from an all-the-way win last time out. Slaneyside Pro matches her on the model rating and boasts the best average performance rating in the race, but she's drawn in the very trap that's been the graveyard box at this level. Sparks Lucky, the fastest dog in the field on the clock, offers an alternative angle from a fair draw.
Won impressively last time out, away well and leading throughout, and while that was at the softer A5 level, she'd already shown she belongs at A4 with a second and third in the two starts before that. She shares the model's top composite score tonight and, crucially, she's drawn in trap 1 — the best-performing box at this level, winning 18.0% from 1,046 runs. The combination of the model's top rating and the best trap is a genuine stacking signal.
Shares the model's top composite score and boasts the best average performance rating of anyone in this race, with a big peak of 78 four starts back proving the engine is there. She flopped last time out, beaten a long way in sixth, but one bad run doesn't erase the underlying quality — she's also been racing at a higher level recently, so tonight's grade should suit. The complication is the draw: trap 3 has been the weakest box at this level, winning just 9.3% from 1,046 runs, which is a serious knock against a repeat of that peak form.
The fastest dog in the field on the clock, though her recent results haven't matched the raw pace — up and down figures with no win in her last six starts. Trainer David Hickey has a modest strike rate at this level. Trap 2 is a fair draw at 14.2%, and on pure speed she can't be dismissed, but the inconsistency is a genuine concern.
Capable of a big performance — he won well at A3 two months ago — but his last three starts have been modest, including a well-beaten sixth last time out. Trap 4 is a below-average draw here at 12.8%, and there's nothing pressing about his current form to suggest tonight's the night he rediscovers that level.
Comfortably the weakest of the six on both the model rating and average performance, and his recent starts have been well beaten with barely a placed effort in his last five. He does have a win in the book from A6 grade two months ago, but that's a long way below tonight's level. Hard to make a case for him here.
Drawn in the best box at this level, winning 18.6% from 1,046 runs, and his own recent form has been steady if unspectacular — second last time out and a win at A5 grade two months back. Trainer Matthew Ryan's overall strike rate is modest, but the trap alone gives him some each-way claims in a race that's wide open behind the top two.
Key insight: Tonight's top two rated dogs, Bionic Blue Sky and Slaneyside Pro, are locked together on the composite score — but only Bionic Blue Sky has the benefit of a productive trap, with Slaneyside Pro stuck in the single weakest box at this level at 9.3%.
