Borora Aura

SPECULATIVE Advised 12/1 Est. 22%

10TH

Mr Fox says

Borora Aura (SR:53, 12/1) is the standout market mover in this modest field, steaming in 43% from opening — the most aggressive market support of any runner by a wide margin. Carrying a light 8-7 as a 3-year-old, she has the lowest weight burden among the younger horses and benefits from trainer Michael Mulvany's respectable 12% strike rate (best in the field). Form reads 942966 with a recent '6' last time, which is modest but consistent with a horse finding its level; the market money at 43% in is a strong signal that connections expect a forward step. While DistFit:- is a concern, the same flag applies to most rivals, and at 12/1 the price more than compensates for the risk in a race where no horse has a compelling course-and-distance profile. Each-way alternative: Kingcharles. Main danger: Sherekiya — Sherekiya (SR:68, 7/2) carries the joint-highest SR in the field, is trained by the proven D K Weld (11% strike rate, 124 runners), ridden by Chris Hayes (11%), and at 9-8 has a manageable weight; if Weld has this 3-year-old ready to improve on a 73 recent sequence the market price makes her the most dangerous rival.
