The class act dropping from Open Race company into D1, and his speed credentials are staggering — a speed rating of 61 that towers over this field, with a first-bend rating of 65 that's equally dominant. His best 285m time of 16.40 is the fastest in the field by a clear margin, and from T6 he gets the historically best draw at D1 where nearly 30% of winners emerge. The massive class drop from OR means he's essentially a top-tier sprinter running against modest opposition, and his raw pace advantage should be decisive over 285m. The only concern is his Fader early pace rating of just 1 — at this distance where the race is over in sixteen seconds, a slow break could be fatal regardless of ability. His closing speed is exceptional but at 285m there may not be enough track to use it. That tension between enormous class and questionable break speed is what keeps this at Medium rather than Strong — but the sheer talent gap and prime draw make him the pick.
