Shinjim Magic is the form horse in this race with a devastating last three runs at A1 — a win in 27.57, a second in 27.60, and a third in 27.80. That 27.57 is the fastest A1 winning time any of these have managed, and the 92 performance that accompanied it is the highest recent rating in the field. He sits in the dominant trap with trap 4 winning 22.8% of A1 races at Sunderland, so the structural position matches the form perfectly. The Bell yard at 18% is moderate but the dog's talent is beyond question. Three consecutive top-three finishes at A1 with consistently fast times makes him the clear pick.
