Steps down dramatically from B3 450m where he won last time with a performance of 58 — by far the highest recent rating of any dog in this race. His average performance of 47 sits 12 points above the field average, a class edge that should prove decisive even at a trip he hasn't raced over recently. He's a confirmed fader with explosive early pace who should blast out of trap 6 and lead from the first stride — and at 275 metres, the fading profile is actually less of a concern than it would be over his usual 450m trip because the race is over before his stamina runs out. Distance suitability of 78 confirms he has strong historical form at this trip, and trap suitability of 53 shows he handles the outside draw. Running for the second time today after the B3 450m, which is a slight concern — but the class gap is so large that even with slightly dulled reserves he should have too much for these.
