Won last time out in A6 grade over 415m with a rating of 72 — a performance well above anything this field produces regularly. Now dropping dramatically in grade to D4 and in distance to 238m, which is a new experience for this dog who carries a distance suitability figure of just 18. However, the bend rating of 56 is the highest in this field, the early pace of 59 confirms this dog will be quickly away, and in trap 6 — the best structural draw at D4 sprints here by some margin — the physical tools align with the most favoured trap. At this short distance, a dog with genuine class who leads through the first bend is very difficult to run down. Tentative given the 238m distance is relatively unfamiliar, but the structural case is strong.
