Take The Floor gets the model's nod as the best overall profile in a weak IT field. His competitive form from A6 and A7 level at other venues is significantly stronger than anything else on offer here — won at A6 posting 69, and managed 55 for second at A6. He ran 47 and 42 at lower levels too, giving him a consistent base of competitive runs that the others simply don't have. An all-rounder with good early pace and decent closing ability, he can dictate this race from the front if he breaks well from trap 3. Won his trial here on Saturday showing he handles the track. The average performance of 50 is the best in the field and his speed and bend ratings of 50 and 54 are solid. Trainer J M Ray at 16% is modest but the dog's competitive experience should prove decisive against largely unproven opposition.
