The pick of the entire Newcastle card tonight and a genuine banker. His average performance of 78 is a class apart from this field, and he has been winning at A3 level with something in hand, suggesting A2 is well within range. He won comfortably last time over course and distance, leading from the fourth bend after tracking the pace patiently. His suitability profile is outstanding - course suitability of 71, distance suitability of 66, and trap suitability of 75 are all the highest in the field by a wide margin. Trained by Jim Flaherty whose 46% strike rate is exceptional. A confirmed closer whose finishing kick should be devastating through Newcastle's long straight.
The only dog with the class to challenge the pick but the dead trap is a significant structural headwind - the clear danger.
Honest closer in the best structural draw who can pick up the pieces for a place but unlikely to trouble the pick.
Capable but inconsistent all-rounder who needs everything to go right and the pick to falter.
Promising trial winner from a strong draw and a good trainer, but too little form to assess - a wildcard.
Structurally well drawn but individually poor suitability and a fading profile against quality closers - hard to see a path to victory.
Low separation at A2, but Ballycian Boy has an extraordinary class advantage of 14 points above the field average of 64. His suitability scores are also the highest across every dimension. This is the clearest convergence on the card.
