Selected primarily on an extraordinary course and distance record: 7 wins and 7 places from 10 runs at Valley 260m — a 70% win rate that is among the highest CD conversion rates you'll find in any grade. This isn't a small sample anomaly; 10 runs is a statistically meaningful dataset that says this dog has solved Valley 260m. The suitability scores confirm it emphatically: track 85, distance 70, trap 72 — all the highest in the field by significant margins. Performance at ap70 is third-best, just 2 points behind the joint leaders. The concern is speed: sr43 is the lowest in the field by 3 points, and at 260m speed normally decides. But the 70% CD win rate proves that whatever this dog does at Valley 260m — whether it's bend mastery, break timing, or positional intelligence — it works despite the modest speed figure. One trial in the last 5 grades (OR, T1, OR, D3, D3) introduces mild average inflation. Class suitability at 0 from OR racing is noted but the D3 form is at D1 level, and the CD record transcends grade concerns.
