Yup, slow FR1 really does little for FR2.
FR2 is tricky. Top ranked FR1 and FR2 are usually strong favs so there is little value there.
What I do like is a P horse with strong FR2 when the pace comes up slow, they tend to be a little closer than normal to the lead and can use that FR2 to get a lead into the stretch, usually a winning move on dirt.
I think I used that angle to hit the first race at Sar today.
