Mr Fox’s call

Megaphone

SPECULATIVE Advised 3/1 Est. 28%

Mr Fox says

Megaphone (SR:59, 3/1) holds the joint-highest SR in the field alongside Rovinia (SR:61) but ran just yesterday — that freshness concern is offset by a 25% market-in move, suggesting connections and the market are comfortable with the quick turnaround. At 3/1 the market is pricing this as a clear co-favourite and the SR edge over the rest of the field (excluding Rovinia) is meaningful at Class 6 level. The trainer Scott Dixon and jockey Christian Howarth combination is workmanlike but the late money at Lingfield AW is a hard signal to dismiss. Crown The Future (SR:58, 15/2) is the main threat given Tony Carroll's 13% strike rate and a 5lb weight advantage at 9-4, but Megaphone's stronger market move is the deciding factor. Each-way alternative: Crown The Future. Main danger: Rovinia — Rovinia holds the field's top SR at 61, has placed at Lingfield (Course:W0P1), carries a MarkMv:-3 advantage, and jockey Marco Ghiani strikes at 14% — the drift of 23% may simply reflect the market preferring Megaphone's momentum rather than any genuine weakness.
