Pace Maps & Draw Bias
Predict tempo, recognise lane effects, and align your shortlist to the likely shape.

Pace profiles
- Leaders: dangerous if uncontested.
- Prominent: first run if pace is fair.
- Mid-division: need honest fractions.
- Hold-up: lethal late if pace collapses.
Draw bias
Distance- and course-specific. We model stall effects to complement your ratings-led shortlist.
Uncontested lead
Upgrade likely soft-lead scenarios; trip efficiency rises.
Traffic & turns
Wide gates into sharp bends can be costly.
Aligned edges
Best when ratings + map + draw all point the same way.
