Mr Fox’s call
Majestic Wave
SPECULATIVE Advised 13/2 SP 4/1 Est. 28%
Mr Fox says
Majestic Wave (SR:59, 13/2) is the standout on multiple converging signals in what is a compressed SR field. The 20% market shortening is the strongest steaming move in the race and demands respect — someone informed is backing this horse. The MarkMv:-30 is a dramatic drop in mark, giving Majestic Wave a significant weight-to-ability advantage over rivals running off comparable SRs, and the ClassMv:↓1 drop further eases the assignment. At 9-9, it carries a manageable weight and Simon Dow's yard fires at 11% strike rate with Paddy Bradley a compatible booking. The DistFit:- and GoingFit:- are genuine negatives, but on an AW surface at 7f1y those flags are less damning than on turf, and the market is clearly choosing to overlook them. Each-way alternative: Francisco. Main danger: Francisco — Francisco (SR:56, 13/2) is steaming hardest in the field at 28% market support, carries a favourable 9-5, holds solid course form (W1P3), and the tongue-tie plus visor headgear combo signals connections are serious about getting a performance today.
