Slipalong Move has the best raw numbers in this high-quality A3 field: avgP 68 (best), speed 56 (best), and remarkably consistent form — 77→70→64→72→76, five straight runs between 64 and 77 with no dips below 64. That consistency at A3 level is exceptional. She's a pure Closer (EP 36, CS 100) which at tight Romford is normally a major concern, but there are mitigating factors. First, A3 is the grade where upsets are most common (R2 beats R1 at 19.4% vs 18.4%) — quality matters more than pace profile at this level. Second, the field has three Faders/moderate-CS dogs who'll contest the early lead, meaning the pace will be genuine and the early leaders will weaken, creating opportunities for closers. CD form of 1,2,3 is outstanding — a win, second, and third at course and distance. Speed 56 is the class of the field. P W Young at 12% is the one negative — well below awareness. But the combination of consistent high performance + proven CD form + best speed is too strong to ignore.
