The best overall profile in the field with the highest composite at 65.5, joint-highest speed at 57, and the strongest early pace rating at 66 — metrics that give him the tools to control this race from the front. His A7 record of P43, P53, P41 shows a dog who is always competitive at this level, and his runner-up finish in 29.37 seconds two starts back proves he can produce a winning effort. Bend rating of 59 is second only to the danger and his best sectional of 2.95 seconds confirms sharp speed around the turns. The Fader profile means he needs to establish early and hold on, but his EP advantage over the field should allow him to do exactly that. Trap six carries 18.0% at A7 which is moderate, and the wider draw means he needs to use his pace to cross early. Trainer I E Walker at 16% is modest but the dog performs above stable averages at A7.
