The fastest dog in the field with a speed figure of 54 — two points clear of the nearest rival in a race where every inch of pace matters at 260 metres. Trap 2 is a decent draw at D5, winning 21% of races, which is well above the average for the weaker traps. Third last time at D5 in a solid effort and has been competitive in his recent outings without quite breaking through. In a weak field where all six dogs are closely matched on average performance, the speed advantage is the clearest separating factor. At Valley 260m where speed rank 1 wins nearly 30% of races, having the quickest clock time is as good a reason as any to be on top.
