Back at A6 where trap 1 is the best box (20.4% from 167 runs) and trap 2 the weakest (11.9%). Speed and the composite rating run closer together at this grade than most, so neither factor completely dominates. Ballyhoe Cruiser sets the pace on the model with the clearest composite lead in the race and an outstanding course and distance strike rate, albeit from a smaller sample. Sniper Big Les counters with the best trap in the field and a remarkable record of hitting the top two at this venue and trip. Rathore Star looks flashy on the raw clock but that speed comes from sprint racing at a different trip entirely and shouldn't be trusted at face value.
Comfortably the top-rated dog in the field on the model, with a clear composite lead over the rest of this line-up. Drops in after finishing fifth at the tougher A5 grade last time out, but the earlier form of 74 and 75 two and three runs back shows the class is there when it clicks. Boasts an outstanding course and distance record — four wins and six top-two finishes from seven runs at this venue and trip, a 57% strike rate, though the sample is on the smaller side. Trap 4 is a workable box rather than the standout draw. The clearest rating edge in the race.
Finished second last time out at this same grade and the form has been consistently competitive, reading 60-50-70-69-54-62. Drawn in the best-performing trap at this grade, the strongest structural edge in the race. The course and distance record is remarkable for consistency — one win but seven top-two finishes from ten runs at this venue and trip, an 80% place strike rate. Shares the second-fastest raw time in the field too. The clear alternative to the top pick given the trap and the sheer consistency of hitting the frame here.
Shows the fastest raw time and speed figure in the field by a wide margin, but every one of the last six runs was over 400m in sprint company, a different trip and grade entirely, and none of that form is directly comparable to this test. No course and distance experience whatsoever at this venue and trip. Drawn in the weakest trap at this grade too. The eye-catching speed figure should be treated with real suspicion given how it was earned.
Finished fourth last time out at this grade and the form has bounced around, with a peak of 75 four runs back but a couple of softer efforts mixed in. Decent course and distance record at three wins and five top-two finishes from ten runs. The raw speed figure is one of the softer ones in the field. A workmanlike type more likely to feature in the places than the win.
Finished fourth last time out at this same grade and the form has been steady in the 50s to 70s. Course and distance record is reasonable at two wins and two places from ten runs. Trainer Paul Whyte's overall figures are modest. A fair each-way type but not standing out on any single factor against the two leading contenders.
Finished last last time out at this grade and drops from an A4 peak two grades higher, which can flatter the raw average without reflecting current sharpness. No wins from nine course and distance runs, just two places. The weakest raw speed figure among the leading pack. Hard to fancy against this field.
Key insight: Trap 1 is the best box at A6 (20.4% from 167 runs) while trap 2 is the weakest (11.9%). Speed Rank 1 (26.1%) and Speed Rank 2 (24.7%) are close together at this grade, so the speed edge is real but tighter than at A5 or A7.
