The fastest dog in this field by a considerable margin — speed rating of 65 against the next best of 52 — and the highest average performance at 51. Has been competing at A6 grade over 462 metres, where it placed second with a rating of 53 last time out. This is dramatically better competition than anything else in this handicap sprint field, and the class difference should be decisive at 268 metres. First time racing at this shorter trip, which adds some uncertainty, but the speed override rule applies: when a dog's speed rating is more than five points clear of the field, the trap disadvantage can be overridden. At 65 versus 52 for the next runner, that gap is 13 points — overwhelming. The speed and class are too good for this company to ignore, regardless of the draw.
