Mr Fox’s call
Rajaking
SPECULATIVE Advised 3/1 Est. 30%
Mr Fox says
Rajaking leads the field on SR (91) and carries just 9-8, giving him a meaningful ability edge over Explosive Finnish (SR 89, 9-3) without a prohibitive weight burden. His form string -64313 reads as a horse finding his feet after a break then improving sharply — the last three runs show a third, a win, and a third, all at this class level (ClassMv:=), and his trainer T.J. Kent fires at 17% career strike rate, the best in this field. Harry Davies at 13% is solid enough. The GoingFit:- is a genuine concern on today's good ground, but with no horse in this field boasting a standout going-fit advantage at this trip, his raw SR superiority and recent placed consistency make him the most credible winner. Each-way alternative: Explosive Finnish. Main danger: Explosive Finnish — Explosive Finnish (SR 89, 7/2) carries a favourable 9-3 with confirmed DistFit:+ and GoingFit:+ — the only runner proven at this trip on today's good ground — and Jack Mitchell's 16% career strike rate is the strongest jockey booking in the field, making him the most dangerous opponent if Rajaking's going concerns materialise.
