Mr Fox says

Minella Rockett (SR 104, 5/4) is the clear standout in this six-runner field. The SR of 104 is comfortably the highest — 9 points clear of Queen Of The Bogs (SR 95) and 14 clear of Dial Me In (SR 90) — and that edge is reinforced by a GoingFit:+ on today's good ground, confirming this surface suits. The form string 2-4511 shows a horse coming sharply into form: back-to-back wins most recently, and the market has shortened 18% since opening, signalling informed money. At 9-5 and age 3, the weight is also the lightest in the field, adding a further physical edge over the older horses carrying more. Each-way alternative: Queen Of The Bogs. Main danger: Queen Of The Bogs — Queen Of The Bogs (SR 95, 11/4) is proven at today's distance (DistFit:+), has Shane Foley in the saddle, and despite the GoingFit:- and 95-day absence, a ★★★★☆ rating and relatively modest drift suggest the market still respects her claims as the main threat.
