Speed rank one at 57 in a race where the signal fires at 24.29% — the largest single discriminator available at A6 grade. Seven course-and-distance runs provide the form evidence that the analysis requires, with one win on the board confirming the dog has converted at this exact venue and distance. A Closer profile from trap three, which wins 19.74% at A6. Trainer P W Young at 12% is modest. The pick rests principally on the speed lead with C&D validation — in a race where the next-best options either have a weaker trap draw or question marks over their ability to handle the 400m trip, the proven course-and-distance operator with the fastest legs is the most defensible selection.
