Won at A6 most recently in 27.78 with a very quick exit from the traps — described as breaking very quickly from the middle and leading all the way to the line. That time is exceptional for A6 company and translates directly to A5 where the standard is not dramatically higher. His performance figures have been climbing from the mid-forties through the fifties and into the seventies over his last five runs, which is exactly the trajectory that wins races when stepping up a grade. He is second in the speed rankings for this field despite the A6 context of his most recent run. From trap three he should get a clean break without being dragged into the inside traffic. The combination of a fast-breaking style, a rising form line, and a strong recent time over the same course and distance makes him the selection.
