BGP Selection .. Why Path #2 is better ! ?

[Sherif Atef Ahmed Ismail]

I have a question please. For below output why 2nd output is considered best

According to my topology this is the right behavior however I am just curious why it is considered the best

Many Thanks

The BGP cost community modifies the BGP path selection process.

the "pre-bestpath" point of insertion was introduced in the BGP Cost Community feature. This POI is applied automatically to EIGRP routes that are redistributed into BGP and carries the EIGRP route type and metric. This POI influences the best path calculation process by influencing BGP to consider this POI before any other comparison step effectivefly forcing BGP to use IGP-like selection rules.
