Our Zebo

SPECULATIVE Advised 17/2 Est. 22%

Mr Fox says

Our Zebo (SR:92, 17/2) is the clear class-leader in this field, carrying 11-6 — a manageable burden given the weight advantage over top-weight Menas Miracle (SR:82, 12-0). The MarkMv:-19 is a significant flag: running off a mark 19lb lower than last win signals the handicapper has given this horse a real opportunity. GoingFit:+ confirms proven ability on good ground. The market has shortened 6% (Mkt:in6%), quiet but purposeful money from the Noel C Kelly yard, whose #1 runner this clearly is given Shantou Show (same stable) carries 11-11 with GoingFit:- and no jockey listed. A 329-day absence is a concern, but the blinkers application (HG:b) suggests connections are priming him for a return, and the class edge over this field is decisive. Each-way alternative: Bob The Builder. Main danger: Bob The Builder — Bob The Builder (SR:80, 17/2) has steamed in 21% in the market (Mkt:in21%), carries a light 10-12, and jockey Eoin Staples runs at 14% career strike rate — the sharpest booking in the field — suggesting connections have spotted a live chance here.
