The strongest course and distance record in the field — placed second in four of his last six D5 starts and won one of them. His best time of 15.82 at this track and distance is competitive and he consistently shows early pace, with multiple run comments noting him challenging and leading to the second bend. An average performance of 24 is modest on paper but the course and distance form tells the real story — he knows how to race at this track over this distance and his early pace suits the tight circuit perfectly. From trap 4 he has a fair draw and should be in the mix from the off. The consistency of placed efforts shows honest form that translates well to this specific test.
