Performance and speed figures. Both had one race at 10 furlongs and one at 12 furlongs on the dirt. Jazil was faster in both on speed figures and was 1st/4th in those races as opposed to 1st/6th for Summer Bird. There's no reasonable metric that puts Summer Bird ahead from 10 furlongs and on.

As opposed to the sample of zero that suggests Summer Bird is better?

I wouldn't suggest either is better because it's irrelevant and unknowable - especially considering that Summer Bird has run exactly five times. Just seems like a silly discussion to me. . . but carry on. What was Jazil's beyer in the Belmont?
