Selected on the dominant T2 trap position and the best recent open-race performance in the field. LR P59 for 2nd at A6 500m is the strongest single data point among the non-trial runners — she's proven competitive at exactly this grade and distance. T2 wins 24.57% of A6 500m races from 175 runs, far ahead of any other position. The Fader profile (EP55, CS20) is the obvious concern, and at 500m with four bends, a CS20 dog is expected to weaken significantly in the closing stages. But EP55 from T2 means she'll be first or second through the tight first bend, saving ground while wider runners lose it. Speed 59 is joint-fastest in the field with Freedom Vesta, and bend rating 64 is the best by a wide margin — she handles Nottingham's bends well. The form trajectory (discounting trial) 59→43→41→42→49 shows the A6 LR was her best recent run by far — and 2LR P43 for 6th was at A5, a higher grade. Trainer A S Mcpherson at 10% is low, but the trap data is the decisive factor here.
