Mr Fox’s call
Fuel The Jet
SPECULATIVE Advised 13/2 SP 13/2 Est. 26%
Mr Fox says
Fuel The Jet (SR 101, 13/2) is the highest-rated runner in the field and arrives on the back of a form string reading 5191 — a win last time out that followed a Group victory in the sequence, showing genuine progression at this level. Crucially, the market has steamed in 30% since opening, which is the strongest market signal in the entire field and suggests connections and informed money are confident stepping up in class. Tom Clover's 16% strike rate and Neil Callan's 14% are workmanlike but respectable, and the proven distance fit (DistFit:+) is an important edge in a seven-furlong Group 3 where several rivals have question marks at the trip. The MarkMv:+6 is a modest concern but does not offset the combination of top SR, strong market move, proven trip, and recent winning form. Each-way alternative: Great Balls O'Fire. Main danger: Great Balls O'Fire — Great Balls O'Fire (SR 99, 5/2) is the market's favourite, trained by Richard Spencer and ridden by Saffie Osborne, and a dominant debut winner — if that maiden form reads well in hindsight after this Group 3, its single run of '1' could represent untapped ability that makes it the likeliest horse to beat Fuel The Jet.
