Mr Fox says

Molly Mac (SR:79, 15/8) is the class standout in this field by a clear margin — 8 SR points clear of Cape Toronada (SR:71) and 19 clear of Koffee And Kale (SR:67). The market has backed that view with a 12% inward move, reflecting genuine confidence from connections. GoingFit:+ confirms she handles today's Good to Firm conditions, and dropping a class (ClassMv:↓1) from her last run means she faces a softer task than recently. The MarkMv:+4 is a minor concern, but the combination of superior ability, proven going preference, and strong market support overrides that caution. Each-way alternative: Cape Toronada. Main danger: Cape Toronada — Cape Toronada (SR:71, 4/1) brings strong recent form (642141 — a win two runs ago and a runner-up last time), a confirmed DistFit:+ at today's trip, and Rossa Ryan (16% career strike rate) in the saddle, making him the most credible threat to Molly Mac in this field.
