A 280-metre sprint at Sheffield where trap 5 has been the strongest box in this grade, though it's empty tonight, and traps 1 and 2 have been the weakest. The story of this race is Feora Sara, who was racing at a considerably higher level over 500m for most of her career and only switched to this sprint trip last time out — finishing a clear second on debut at the shorter distance, well clear of what this grade normally produces. Her level of ability is simply above these rivals on what she's shown at 500m, and the fact she's already proven she can transfer that to a sprint makes her hard to oppose. Lexis Gloria is the one with the momentum to trouble her, drawn in a strong box and improving with every start. The rest need the front two to falter.
Recent grade context tells the story here — every start before her latest was at 500m in A5 and A6 company, well above tonight's level, with two wins in that spell. Only last time out did she switch down to this sprint trip, and she ran a clear second on her very first try at it, already well clear of what this grade usually produces. She's a strong finisher who does her best work in the closing stages, which suits a race where the front markers may go too hard early. The class gap to the rest of this field is considerable, and she's already shown the switch to a sprint doesn't faze her.
Only three career starts, all graded at this course and distance, no trials. A win, a second and a third from those three runs shows a clear improving trend, and she's drawn in the second-best box in this grade tonight. Trained by D L Cross, who's running at a healthy 28% strike rate. Limited experience but every sign points the right way.
Recent form all graded at D4 and D5 level at this course and distance, no trials. Fast away but tends to lose ground late, and his last three starts have all ended in fifth or sixth. Trap 1 has been one of the weaker boxes in this grade. Hard to find much to like about his recent efforts.
Recent form graded at D4 and D5 level at this course and distance, no trials involved. Second last time out and carries the fastest recent times of the field with a win two starts back. Trap 2 has been one of the weakest boxes in this grade though, which is the main concern. A genuinely fast dog who needs things to fall right from a tricky draw.
Recent form all graded at D4 level at this course and distance, no trials. No wins from her last six starts here but has been competitive throughout, generally finishing in the middle of the field. Fastest raw time of this six but the average figures are more middling. Trap 6 is a reasonable box in this grade.
Key insight: Trap 5 is the standout box in this grade at 24.3%, but it's not in use tonight. Trap 3 is the best box actually running, at 21.9%.
