This wind is a concern for front runners. The winner in the 1st drafted all the way until the last 2f, so the winner could be the horse that has a nice tow into the race.
I think if you want an out and out 5f horse that needs fast ground then this is the one. Has the best topspeed figure, good jockey on board, drops from a G2 to a G3, and is still 6/1.
I think I may be joining you on that one hippo. The Scottish tracks are very difficult I find, so maybe betting on the big races only is the way to go.
