The undisputed class act in this field by a wide margin. Five wins from eight starts at this exact course and distance — a 62.5 percent win rate that is exceptional at any level. Recent form of P95→P100→P90→P87→P100→P100 shows a dog who has been operating at the very top end of the performance scale with barely a blemish. Last time out was a P95 finishing second, with the winner being False Strap who also runs today — so the form is franked and the rematch is a live contest. The composite rating of 81 towers over the rest of the field, with the next-best dog at 50. Trainer P M Donovan places this runner regularly and knowingly at this course. The one question mark is the lack of pace profile data — we do not know whether they tend to lead or come from behind. Given the consistency and the record here, however, it barely matters. They have the class to win from a variety of race shapes.
