Has the highest average performance rating in this field at 86 — significantly ahead of her rivals — and her last recorded race in January produced a stunning 98-rated winning performance at S2 grade over 325 metres. A career of four starts has produced consistent excellence: 79, 82, 81, and 98, showing she does not have bad days. Speed rating of 62 is the highest in this field by a clear margin. The significant concern is the five-month absence from racing — she has not run since January 31st. A trainer placing her in SS0 grade after a long preparation suggests confidence she is ready, but the fitness question is genuine. If she returns in anything like her January form, she is well clear of this field.
DANGER: Excellent recent form and improving trajectory, though the step up to SS0 grade and the switch to a sprint distance are both unknowns.
Best draw in the race but recent form well below peak — the trap advantage is undermined by declining current ability.
Elite ceiling but extreme inconsistency and a trainer with no recorded wins — hard to trust today despite the career peak.
Declining form and a long absence from competition — very hard to make a case at this grade.
Career-best form of 99 two runs ago and has been active recently, but trap 6 is a structural handicap at a sprint distance where the inside rail matters.
No SS0-specific data exists. Using 866-run Lifford 325m dataset: trap 1 dominates at 22.6% while trap 6 is worst at 11.4%. The composite ranking is flat — sprint performance and current fitness are the key factors. A five-month layoff for the top-rated runner creates significant uncertainty.
