Mr Fox says

Clementines Star (SR:80, 7/4) is the clear class standout in this field, holding a minimum 15-point SR advantage over every rival. The form string 33-321 shows a horse that finished most recently with a win, representing peak form at Class 5 level — the same class as today (ClassMv:=) — and running off the same mark as that last win (MarkMv:=). Trainer Kubler runs at 15% strike rate from 180 runners, a solid operation, and while jockey Carver's 8% rate is modest, the horse's own form does the heavy lifting. The 7/4 market price reflects genuine confidence and is not a price to oppose given the SR gap alone. Each-way alternative: Grand Vista. Main danger: Grand Vista — Grand Vista has steamed in 32% in the market — the sharpest move in the field — carries a featherweight 8-9, has prior course form (W0P1), and the first-time cheekpieces (HG:p) suggest connections are confident in a big step forward on just 2 days' turnaround, which warrants serious respect despite the SR gap.
