Renas Rocket is the pick in this semi-final on the basis of the highest composite score (52), an excellent 86-performance second-place run in A1 company just last week (29 May, Crd 1/ChlRi — crowded at bend 1 but challenged all the way to the line from T2), and a comprehensive set of positive suitability scores: track 47, distance 48, trap 15, class 45. Those class and track suitability marks indicate a dog that has been consistently performing at A1 level at Dundalk. Average performance of 70 is solid for this grade. Tonight she gets the move from T2 to T1 — the best trap at Dundalk 525m (18.8% from 656 runs) — giving her the ideal rail run. Prior A1 form includes runs at Dundalk (2nd, 3rd, 3rd) showing genuine A1 competitiveness even without a win. The crowded run last week cost her — a clean run from T1 tonight could see her convert. Trainer win rate is not available but the dog's consistency at A1 level speaks for itself.
Won A1 Dundalk 525m with 98 perf in November. Strong return with 77 perf second in May. The danger to Renas Rocket — if at peak form she wins this easily.
Massive class jump from A4 to A1 with a wildly erratic form profile (85 then 33). Lowest composite. Cannot be trusted.
Highest track suitability and course-familiar but competing at A1 above recent winning grade (A0/ungraded). Inconsistency at other venues is a concern.
A1 ability proven at Shelbourne but zero Dundalk history at this grade. Track switch is a major unknown. Below-average draw. Hard to support.
No Dundalk form, worst trap draw, inconsistent Shelbourne record. Very difficult to support against proven Dundalk runners.
Dundalk 525m has a 2.9pp trap spread — T1 marginally best at 18.8%. At A1 level the class and course-specific form differential between Dundalk regulars and Shelbourne visitors is the key differentiator.
T1:18.8% T2:17.5% T3:17.8% T4:16.3% T5:15.9% T6:16.0%
