By far the most talented dog in this race when he's in the mood — recent form includes a 54 and a 55 that would be head and shoulders above anything else at this grade. The all-round pace profile and best speed in the field mean he can win from the front or sit handy and pick off rivals. The elephant in the room is the inconsistency — a 12 and a 14 in the same form string show he's capable of running a real stinker. Zero distance suitability is also concerning, suggesting he hasn't proven himself at this trip before. But the sheer class advantage over this field is so significant that even an average effort should be enough. Trained by Porter at 28%.
