The ReadCOMPOSED FROM THE MEASURES BELOW
LEVEL LOOK is the only confirmed early type — if it breaks level it should get the front to itself. Winners at this course and distance typically spend 49.35% of their energy before the final 2f and sit around 3 at halfway, 0.32s off the lead. The measured order tops LEVEL LOOK on 85, 5pts clear of CRANACHAN. LEVEL LOOK: the only measured early speed in the race, without over-committing — and finds plenty late · sharp from the stalls. The shape danger is COUNTER INTUITIVE (IRE) — the strongest late speed in this field, saving plenty for the finish — profits if the early types overdo it.
