Me Bundee gets the nod in this S4 575m contest on the strength of a class override (+8.2 above field average) combined with arguably the best closing profile in the race — CS100 paired with an extraordinary PC96, meaning he delivers his devastating late run virtually every single time he races. AP69 is the highest by 2 points and at S4 level that class edge matters enormously. The concern is his C&D record: 10 runs producing just 1 win and 2 places (20% place rate) at Romford 575m, which is poor and suggests something about this specific track and distance doesn't maximise his ability. However, the class override rule states that when AP is 6+ points above field average, pace profile concerns become secondary — and 8.2 points qualifies comfortably. From T4 he's centrally drawn, gets a reasonable passage through the bends, and can sit off the three Faders who will blaze early before unleashing his trademark finishing burst. The consistency factor (PC96 vs PC0 for both rivals) makes him the only closer you can actually rely on.
