Mr Fox’s call
Shes Got The Blues
SPECULATIVE Advised 2/1 SP 100/30 Est. 35%
Mr Fox says
Shes Got The Blues (SR 71, 2/1) is the clear class leader in this field by a significant margin — 8 SR points clear of the next best, which is material in a Class 6 sprint. The 3yo carries 9-6 and brings a compelling form string of 541133 (rightmost = last), showing two consecutive wins and three placings from the last six runs, indicating peak form. Course form is strong: W1P2 at Brighton confirms she handles this unique undulating track. Tony Carroll's yard runs at 13% and the booking of Silvestre De Sousa (13%, 907 runners) is a yard's #1 signal — Stable:1 confirms this is the stable's primary hope over Rock Master. The MarkMv:+3 is a mild concern but the SR lead and course specialisation outweigh it; GoingFit:- is the main caveat but applies to most of the field. Each-way alternative: King David. Main danger: King David — King David (SR 63, 5/2) has steamed in 17% in the market and Saffie Osborne is a quality booking; despite DistFit:- and GoingFit:- the market support is too loud to ignore entirely, and blinkers applied for the first time could sharpen a horse whose form string includes a 9 and a 5 at this trip.
