Won last time out with a career-best performance of 59 at B5 level, clocking 28.28 seconds and showing the kind of effort that suggests he is operating well within himself at this grade. His All-Rounder profile gives him more options than the pure closers in this field — he should be up with the early pace and travelling comfortably into the back straight. The best first-bend rating in this field backs that up: he is sharp enough to be in the right position from the outset. At this track and trip, dogs that combine decent early pace with the ability to stay on have a clear edge over those who rely entirely on a closing kick. With a 63 speed rating that matches the field lead, and a 59-performance run already on the board at a harder grade, he deserves favouritism.
