Sound Gloria
SPECULATIVE Advised 13/8 Est. 32%
Mr Fox says
Sound Gloria (SR:74, 13/8) holds the highest Saturday Rating in the field by a clear margin — 6 points clear of Blue Tulip and 8 clear of Le Rouge Chinois — and that class edge matters in a weak Class 6 event. The form string -77312 reads as a genuine progressive, with a third and a runner-up in the last two outings, and the Varian yard operate at a 20% career strike rate, the strongest training hand here. A market move in of 29% since opening confirms money is following the selection, and at 9-7 she is relatively lightly weighted against top-weight Le Rouge Chinois at 10-0, lending a real 7lb pull in the weights. GoingFit is unproven on Good, but at 3 years old with a rising form line and top connections, the balance of signals points firmly her way. Each-way alternative: Blue Tulip. Main danger: Blue Tulip — Blue Tulip (SR:68, 11/4) drops a class (ClassMv:↓1), carries the lightest competitive weight at 9-7 alongside Sound Gloria, has a 27% market move in, and Billy Loughnane's 19% career strike rate is the best jockey booking on the card — if the class drop unlocks improvement this is the one most likely to deny Sound Gloria.
