Mr Fox says

Youcansaythatagain (SR:82, 13/2) carries the joint-highest SR in the field — equal with Cooley's Mist but at a considerably more manageable 9-8 versus Cooley's Mist's 9-4 plus a market drift. Crucially, as the A Oliver yard's #1 runner (Faro Island has drifted 34% and carries a weak SR:58), the stable has clearly elected this 3yo as their prime hope, backed up by a 9% market shortening. The form string 7159 — reading right to left, a recent 9th then a 5, then a 1, then a 7 — shows improvement culminating in a win, and at 3yo in a handicap off a light weight, the progressive profile is exactly what you want. GoingFit and DistFit both show '?' meaning insufficient sample rather than proven failure, which is manageable for a lightly-raced improver. Each-way alternative: Sarangpur. Main danger: Cooley's Mist — Cooley's Mist (SR:81, 6/1) matches Youcansaythatagain on SR, has a confirmed DistFit:+ at this trip, and despite an 8% drift its form of 331023 — a recent 3 — shows place consistency, meaning it is the most proven horse at today's conditions among the contenders.
