Mr Fox says

Dalamara (SR:62, 9/4) leads this field on ability, carries 10-0 as top-weight but in a Class 6 AW sprint-ish field where the SR gap over rivals is meaningful — next-best is Rugby Union at SR:60 and Baldosa at SR:61. Crucially, Dalamara has a confirmed course win (Course:W1P1) at Newcastle AW and a positive going fit (GoingFit:+), two signals no other runner matches simultaneously. The 13% market drift is a concern, but the drift may reflect the weight burden rather than an intelligence move — the horse has the class edge, the course record, and ran just 8 days ago suggesting yard confidence. DistFit:? is the key uncertainty at this trip, but GoingFit:+ on the artificial surface at a track where she has already won is a powerful combination in a weak field. Each-way alternative: Rugby Union. Main danger: Rugby Union — Rugby Union (SR:60, 7/2) has steamed 30% in the market — matching New Objective's move — and carries a favourably light 9-8, giving it a 6lb pull on Dalamara; if the market support reflects a fitness/stable signal from Gemma Tutty's yard, the weight advantage could offset Dalamara's course edge.
