The speed rating of 60 isn't just the best in this race — it's one of the highest of any dog at the meeting, and the gap between his 60 and the next best (Romantic Richy at 56) is significant at this grade. His 30.11 best time translates to genuine quality, and the form backing it up is solid: a fourth at A9 last time with a clear run, then a third and second at A8 where he competed against stronger opposition. The A8 second was particularly eye-catching — quick away, led to bend two, disputed the lead throughout, beaten only a neck. That shows genuine front-running ability at a higher grade. Dropping into A9 from those A8 efforts gives him a tangible class edge, and the trap six draw at A9 converts at a strong 23.0% — the second-best position. His all-rounder profile at 52 EP means he breaks with enough speed to exploit the wide draw, and the 52 bend rating is adequate. Heath at 24% is reliable. The concern is his form trajectory: 39, 40, 49, 45, 45, 39 — essentially flat, suggesting he might have reached his ceiling. But the speed figures say otherwise, and in a grade where SpeedR1 converts at 22.2%, being the fastest dog from the second-best draw is a powerful combination.
