The standout statistical leader in this A3. Composite 46 is the field high, performance rating of 71 beats every rival, and the speed figure of 57 leads the group. More tellingly, class suitability sits at 54 — the only runner in the field with genuine A-grade experience at this distance and track. Two recent A2 runs show he can compete at a higher level (P69 pos 2 last time, P87 A3 win two back). Trap 2 registers 19% at A3 which is above average at this track. A step back from A2 to A3 gives him every chance of converting. The trainer at 16% is adequate and the form trajectory has been consistently competitive.
