Make The Tide

SPECULATIVE Advised 6/4 Est. 32%

🥈 2ND

Mr Fox says

Make The Tide (SR:60, 6/4) is the clear SR leader in this field by a margin of 3 points over the next best, carries a competitive 9-10, and the last-run '1' in the form string shows a win just 3 days ago — suggesting peak fitness and a yard happy to run them back quickly in confidence. Trainer W McCreery (9% strike rate, 422 runners) pairs with W J Lee (14%, 828 runners), the strongest jockey booking in the race. The MarkMv:-2 means the mark has barely shifted from the last win, so no punishing rise. GoingFit:~ on today's good ground is the one caveat, but with no DistFit data to condemn the trip and a 6-point SR advantage over the field, this is the standout selection in a modest €6,000 handicap. Each-way alternative: Alto Sax. Main danger: Nephin Mountain — Nephin Mountain (SR:58, 15/2) sits only 2 points below Make The Tide on SR, has confirmed good-ground form (GoingFit:+), showed a win last time out in a recent 051651 sequence, and trainer Mulvany runs at an 11% strike rate — the slight drift of 8% is a concern but the going fit is the strongest of any rival in the field.
