Mr Fox’s call
Flight Tracker
MEDIUM Advised 8/11 Est. 52%
Mr Fox says
Flight Tracker (SR 156, 8/11) edges First Law (SR 155) by the narrowest of margins on ability, but the decisive factor is the market: Flight Tracker has steamed in 9% since opening while First Law has drifted 15%, a meaningful divergence in a four-runner maiden where connections and market operators have full information on both debutants. Ralph Beckett (17% strike rate, 904 runners) is a shrewd handler of promising juveniles on good-to-firm ground at Sandown, and Callum Rodriguez (17%, 653) is a capable booking. The SR of 156 places Flight Tracker firmly in the competitive 140-159 range — clearly top-class for a Class 3 juvenile maiden — and the money coming in despite an already-short price suggests stable confidence rather than drifting public support. Each-way alternative: First Law. Main danger: First Law — First Law carries an identical SR of 155 and Charlie Appleby's 29% career strike rate is the best in the field — the drift from 15% may simply reflect market money flowing onto Flight Tracker rather than any genuine negative signal from the Godolphin yard.
