Kates Bart is a deep closer with the highest average performance in this field and a string of solid form figures that confirm consistent ability at A5 level and above. The pace profile is exclusively a closer, relying entirely on a strong finishing kick, and Hove 500m is one of the few tracks in the country where that style can thrive. Recent form includes a winning 69-rated effort and several placed runs at higher grades. The R J Holloway yard has an excellent strike rate and knows how to place dogs at this venue. Drawn in a weaker structural position from trap 5, but the individual quality and closing speed should overcome the modest draw.
Strong finishing speed and improving at A5 level. A genuine threat if the pace is honest enough to close into.
Well drawn structurally but current form is too poor to capitalise on the rail advantage. Needs to bounce back.
Too lightly raced and too limited on recent evidence to be a factor. One for the future rather than today.
Well drawn and the closing style suits but moderate form suggests a place chance at best rather than a winning one.
Front-runner drawn in the worst box at a track that favours closers. Likely to be caught in the closing stages.
Trap 1 and trap 3 are the stronger structural positions at A5 500m. Composite rank 1 wins 23.5% which offers some predictive value. Trap 5 and 6 are the weakest structural positions but with Kates Bart rated highest on composite score, individual quality may overcome the draw.
