Something Coming

SPECULATIVE Advised 4/1 Est. 30%

Mr Fox says

Something Coming (SR:68, 4/1) has steamed in 32% in the market — the strongest market move in the field by a wide margin — which in an apprentice handicap at this level is a significant signal that connections are confident. Carrying 10-0 is the top weight but the SR of 68 is joint-highest alongside Superstorm, and at Class 5 this weight is manageable for a 3yo with a recent run 23 days ago. The form string 826-26 shows inconsistency but the sharp market support suggests an eye-catching piece of homework or a fitness edge over rivals like Bundok (82 days off) and Musical Soldier (ran just 1 day ago — almost certainly a data anomaly but a flag regardless). Viviana's market move (in 22%) is the only other notable support, but she has a losing form string of 365427 and a going record marked '?' making her harder to trust at a longer price. Each-way alternative: Viviana. Main danger: Musical Soldier — Musical Soldier (SR:74, 15/8) is the highest-rated horse in the field and has a strong recent form string of 221112 — consistently in the frame — and trainer Ollie Sangster hits 12% strike rate over 573 runners, which is the joint-best connection in the race, making the class rise the main worry rather than ability.
