Mr Fox’s call
Collective Power
SPECULATIVE Advised 10/3 Est. 32%
Mr Fox says
Collective Power (SR 82, 10/3) is the clear SR leader in a workmanlike field where most runners sit below 75, and his mark has dropped 6lb since his last win — the most favourable weight adjustment in the race. The 13% market steam from opening price is the strongest inward move in the field and confirms professional support. Jockey Mr J L Gleeson carries a 20% career strike rate, well above stable average, suggesting this is the Lynam yard's #1 runner over stablemate Jon Riggens who has drifted a calamitous 42% and carries top-weight of 12-3 with DistFit:- and GoingFit:-. At 10/3 with the best SR, a falling mark, and clear market confidence, Collective Power is the most credible winner on all available evidence. Each-way alternative: Initial Blue. Main danger: Rappell — Rappell (SR 72, 17/2) carries only 11-9, wears a tongue-tie, and his recent form string 906210 includes a second last time out — if that near-miss form is live on this going he could outrun his price at a useful weight advantage over the favourite.
