Mr Fox’s call
Bigalo
MEDIUM Advised 11/8 Est. 38%
Mr Fox says
Bigalo (SR:78, 11/8) is the standout on ability in this modest five-runner Class 5 seller, carrying the joint-lightest weight of 9-3 for his SR advantage over the field. His form string 69722 reads right-to-left as a recent runner-up finish, suggesting he is knocking on the door, and at just 7 days since his last run he is clearly fit and being kept busy by Roger Fell — a yard that runs at 11% strike rate. The market has installed him as a clear favourite at 11/8, which for a field of this quality implies strong confidence from connections. The GoingFit:- flag on good ground is the one credible concern, but at this class level (SR 66-78 across all five runners) that signal carries less weight than it would in stronger company. Each-way alternative: Bluestone Lady. Main danger: Bluestone Lady — Bluestone Lady (SR:72, 3/1) has confirmed DistFit:+ and GoingFit:+ — the only runner proven at today's trip and going — plus a course win (W1P1) and a recent winning form figure (1 in her six-run string), and despite stepping up in class she holds a clear edge over Bigalo on ground and distance suitability.
