7TH

Mr Fox says

Georginas Jet (SR:84, 3/1) is the clear class leader in this modest €6,000 handicap, carrying 11-1 and holding a 6-9lb SR advantage over the majority of the field. The Course:W1P2 record at Downpatrick is a significant positive — course specialists on specialist tracks win at a premium rate — and DistFit:~ confirms a workable distance profile at 2m1f165y. Jockey Donagh Meyler brings a respectable 11% career strike rate across 1,023 rides. The GoingFit:- and MarkMv:+7 are genuine concerns, but no rival comes close to matching the SR edge, and the 3/1 market reflects confidence that other backers share despite those negatives. Each-way alternative: Victoria Kesia. Main danger: Victoria Kesia — Victoria Kesia (SR:77, 10/1) has been dramatically supported into the market — Mkt:in37% is the strongest move in the race — carries a light 10-13, holds a Course:W0P1 record at Downpatrick, and the tongue-tie application plus that market move suggests connections know something; if the market is right it could outperform its SR on the day.
