Paroda Diva

SPECULATIVE Advised 9/2 Est. 28%

7TH

Mr Fox says

Paroda Diva (SR 66, 9/2) is the highest-rated horse in this weak Class 6 field and is dropping a class, which historically improves win probability. The market has steamed 24% — the sharpest inward move in the race — and Jason Hart (14% strike rate, 2630 career runners) is a high-calibre booking for this level. The GoingFit:~ indicates moderate comfort on good ground, which is acceptable, and the recent form of '461268' shows a solid latest run (8th last time, but placed twice in the sequence). At 9-11 she carries a manageable weight and the MarkMv:+4 is a modest rise that shouldn't be prohibitive at this class level. Each-way alternative: Macedonian. Main danger: Macedonian — Macedonian (SR 60, 9/2) has steamed 21% in the market, carries only 9-5 (6lb less than Paroda Diva), and a MarkMv:-14 means he's racing off a much-reduced mark — Connor Beasley's 14% strike rate adds further confidence that connections are genuinely sweet on this one.
