The class of the field by a clear margin — averaging 79 on recent form, a full four points clear of anyone else, and arriving from Towcester OR1, which is a higher grade than tonight's open race. Four wins from six over course and distance is a remarkable 67% strike rate that makes him the outstanding specialist on this card. His best time of 28.77 here is comfortably the quickest of anyone in this field, and his second-best of 28.92 only reinforces the point — when he races here, he wins more often than he loses. His last run at Towcester was a fourth in OR1 company where he was bumped at the first bend — a higher grade where that kind of trouble is harder to overcome. Before that he was placed at OR1 level in 28.73 seconds, just under two lengths adrift of the winner. He finishes his races with a strong closing kick and at 491 metres he has proven time and again that he can reel in the leaders from off the pace here. The suitability scores are strong across the board — he handles this track, this distance, and this class. The trap draw of 3 is not the best at this grade but his quality advantage is such that it should not matter. The one they all have to beat.
