Composite rank 1 by 18 points — a dominant lead over the nearest rival. The fastest in the field on speed figures and has maximum early pace with an excellent bend rating of 86 — exactly the combination you need to win a 280m Sheffield sprint. Has Sheffield course and distance experience with suitability scores confirming prior form at this track. Recent runs show a peak at P100 twice in recent form with P88 and P94 also in the sequence — remarkable quality for IV grade. Last time out was a more modest P75 placing third, but the peak ability here is head and shoulders above anything else in this field. Trap 3 wins 25.71% at Sheffield 280m IV — a solid if not dominant draw.
Danger — won at OR grade over 275m last time, favourable trap draw. Low speed figures are the concern but the form is there.
Best trap draw in the race and second-best speed. Composite below the selection but the structural position from trap 2 makes this the main each-way alternative.
Below average trap draw and below the top two runners on composite and speed. Hard to make a case for selection.
Worst trap at this grade by a wide margin. Maximum early pace is appealing but the structural disadvantage from trap 5 at a sprint is too severe to overcome.
Extended absence of over a year and below-average trap. Impossible to assess with confidence. Others preferred.
Traps 1 and 2 dominate at Sheffield 280m IV at 28.95% and 30.3% respectively. Trap 5 is virtually unwinnable at 3.33% from 30 runs. Composite R1 wins 24.24% but R2 wins even more at 28.89% — suggesting R1 is not always the standout at this sprint.

Pre-race stats that explain the top 3 finishers
Only runs at exactly 280m — no cross-distance comparisons. Tight cluster = reliable, wide spread = volatile. Faster times on the left. Hover any dot for race details. Amber = troubled run.
Each dog's average pace per 10m at every distance they've run. Green = fastest, red = slowest — shows where each dog is naturally strongest. Today's distance (280m) is highlighted.
