Based on the speed of the track the pace figures weren't all that slow to be honest, but certainly favored the leader. Before applying the track variant, the figures look like this:
1/2 103
3/4 98
Fin 111
The numbers were probably be a few points lower with track variant added, but the relationship between them won't change.
The Pace Projector had the 2 about 1.5 lengths in front of the 5 after the opening half. The charts indicates the 2 had some trouble at the start which may have gifted the 5 the lead, but I don't buy that looking at the replay. It looks like the 2 was consciously rated. Why that would be the case I have no idea. Trainer instruction?
