I would agree with that. Providing the officer is class 1, & I have not yet seen any evidence he is, he will no doubt be relying on his driving skills as an excuse for this incident. Should he prove he was driving in a controlled manner, that would eliminate part of the prosecutions case.
Personally, I consider his actions to be reckless & dangerous.
Some seem to think the pedestrian was at fault & should have taken more care crossing. It is unreasonable to assume any vehicle would be traveling at such speed in a 30 zone. Seeing this vehicles headlights some distance away she would, quite reasonably, had assumed she had time to cross, I do wonder what the "chased vehicles" offence was for this officer to drive at this ridiculous speed.
