Mr Fox says

Lesrico (SR:66, 4/1) is the top-rated horse in this Class 6 field and has steamed 13% in the market — the most significant inward move in the race — suggesting informed support. Despite carrying top-weight of 10-2, the SR advantage over the next-best (Naturalia SR:65, Recobella SR:61) is meaningful in a modest field, and the drop of one class improves winning prospects. The headgear (hood) is a positive flag suggesting connections are targeting this run deliberately. Trainer Lisa Williamson's 7% strike rate is modest but the market signal overrides that concern here. Each-way alternative: Recobella. Main danger: Recobella — Recobella (SR:61, 7/2) has course form (W1P1), confirmed distance fitness (DistFit:+) and going fitness (GoingFit:+), carries a favourable 9-7, and posted a last-time-out win (form reads -35251 with rightmost digit = 1), making her the most multi-signal aligned runner in the field despite the slight 8% market drift.
