Has the highest speed rating in the field at 67, which matters even at 750 metres as early positioning in a marathon race helps avoid interference in the first few bends. Second last Saturday here with a score of 84, and a career peak of 91 from three runs ago, showing genuine top-end ability at this distance. The form over six runs reads 84, 71, 91, 65, 66, 55 — an improving recent trajectory with the 84 most recent being a positive sign. Trainer wins at 21 percent. The concern is the small sample of condition data showing trap one at 0 percent here, and the selection has a higher average and more consistent form over the same period. A genuine danger especially if the speed advantage translates to a good early position.
