A massive class drop from A6 500m into a D4 sprint — she comes into this seven or eight grades below her recent company and is simply a different calibre of animal to the rest of this field. Her average performance of 44 is built from 500-metre races against far stronger opposition, and she posted figures of 52 and 54 in her last two A6 runs. The obvious question is whether a confirmed closer can win at 270 metres, where early pace normally decides everything. But she has the fastest best time at this trip in the field at 16.34 and the quickest speed rating by a clear margin. When a dog is this far above the level, the pace concern becomes secondary — she may simply be too good for them to keep ahead of, even over a sprint. The sphere change is the risk, but the class advantage is overwhelming.
