Mr Fox’s call

Morell River silks

Morell River

MEDIUM Advised 4/1 Est. 30%

Mr Fox says

Morell River leads the field on SR (105) and carries a manageable 11-9, giving it a 3lb weight advantage over Ocean Murphy (SR 101, 11-1) despite holding a SR edge. The 23% market support (steaming from a higher price to 4/1) is significant in a 7-runner field and suggests informed money is on board. The form string 18-128 reads well: a win and a second-place finish in the most recent two completed runs, suggesting a horse in solid order. Trainer Colin Bowe has a modest 7% strike rate but the market move overrides that caution here. Each-way alternative: Ocean Murphy. Main danger: Ocean Murphy — Ocean Murphy (SR 101, 3/1) has proven going fitness (GoingFit:+), the highest-profile jockey booking in the field in Darragh O'Keeffe (14% career strike rate from 862 runners), and carries the lightest weight of the leading contenders at 11-1, giving it a real lbs advantage despite running off a 6lb higher mark than at its last win.
