The ReadCOMPOSED FROM THE MEASURES BELOW
Even/unclear early shape. Winners at this course and distance typically spend 49.56% of their energy before the final 2f and sit around 4 at halfway, 0.27s off the lead. The measured order tops VASTERN on 80, 18pts clear of LIVEMORE. VASTERN: one-paced late — 5th of 5 on late speed in this field, races handy on energy — needs them to stop in front. The shape danger is PARC DOSNE (FR) — the strongest late speed in this field, saving plenty for the finish — profits if the early types overdo it.

Stall number over each runner’s usual early position (amber = front/prominent, blue = mid/held-up, grey = no read; a dashed stall is vacant). Hover a stall for the runner.
