Mr Fox says

Liosa (SR:79, 4/1) is the highest-rated runner in this six-horse Class 5 sprint and carries a light 9-6, giving her a 11lb weight advantage over top-weight Sixtygeesbaby. The 23% market move inward is the most significant positive market signal in the field and demands respect — money has come for a reason. Her recent form (0-4613, right-to-left: last run was a 3rd) shows improvement on her latest outing, and the same-class placement (ClassMv:=) means she is not stepping into unknown territory. The distance fitness is moderate (DistFit:~) and going fitness unknown (GoingFit:?), but at 4/1 with clear SR superiority and the strongest market move, the balance of evidence points firmly her way. Each-way alternative: Safari Dream. Main danger: Safari Dream — Safari Dream (SR:77, 5/1) has a course record of W1P1 at Ffos Las and proven distance fitness (DistFit:+) on confirmed good going (GoingFit:+), giving her a stronger course-and-distance profile than Liosa despite the 20% drift, which may simply reflect market money flowing to Liosa rather than any genuine concern about the horse.
