Oi Oi John is head and shoulders above this field on raw ability, with an average performance nearly 20 points clear of his nearest rival. He won his trial from this very trap last week, leading all the way despite being classified as a closer — suggesting he's more versatile than the numbers suggest. His two starts at course and distance have both produced wins, and while that's a small sample, the 100% strike rate can't be argued with. Trap 1 is a dominant position in D2 277-metre races at Central Park, and his track and distance suitability scores of 50 apiece are the joint-best in the field. The erratic form profile is the only concern — two weak efforts in his last six — but his best is streets ahead of anything else in this race.
