The selection is made in almost every dimension of the analysis. Lightfoot Elle carries the best speed in the field at 68 — an advantage of 9-10 points over the next-best runners — and the early pace credentials are extraordinary: EP of 88 and first-bend rating of 84, figures that represent a dominant pace-setter in this company. A Fader profile ensures those early advantages are converted into sustained running rather than fading before the line. The performance average of 67 is the best in the field, and there is a peak of 89 in the form-line that confirms what the pace data suggests — a dog capable of winning this class comfortably at full stretch. Trap 6 at 18.18% is a decent structural position in HP races here, not the premium draw but substantially better than either of the main danger draws. Trainer Zivkovic does not have an elite win rate at this venue but the dog's data overrides any trainer concern. The only realistic obstacle is Ardsallagh Lady, who is almost as good on form but trapped in the worst box in the race.
