Mr Fox’s call
Tiora Time
SPECULATIVE Advised 5/4 Est. 38%
Mr Fox says
Tiora Time (SR 86, 5/4) is chosen despite holding the lowest SR in the field — a key contextual note is that this is a novice for fillies in Bands B, C and D, meaning top-rated horses from Band A are excluded, and SR values here reflect early-career profiles rather than developed ability. Tiora Time's form reads 3-1 (last run a win), and she arrives just 12 days later with Colin Keane retained (16% career SR, 1020 rides — a high-volume, high-confidence booking), and the market has shortened 7% since opening, suggesting stable confidence and informed money. The class move up one tier is a concern, but the step from a Band D/C novice win into this company is manageable given the opposition's issues. Flooding holds the highest SR (154) but has drifted 8% and has only a single second-place run to her name, while All Angels (SR 145) has also drifted 8% off a sixth-place debut — market is clearly cooling on both. Each-way alternative: Flooding. Main danger: Flooding — Flooding (SR 154, 11/10 despite 8% drift) carries the strongest raw rating and Oisin Murphy's 21% career strike rate on 1,300 rides is the best jockey profile in the race — a second on debut in a Band A-excluded novice is far from a weak run, and she could outclass this field if the drift is merely market noise rather than a stable concern.
