Mr Fox’s call
Dream Legend
SPECULATIVE Advised 5/1 Est. 32%
Mr Fox says
Dream Legend tops the field on SR (75) and carries a manageable 9-7, giving it a clear ability edge over the next-best rivals. Most critically, the market has slammed into it — a 30% inward move to 5/1 with Colin Keane (16% career strike rate, 2347 runners) in the saddle is a powerful dual signal that connections expect a bold showing. Course form of W2P2 at Bellewstown is outstanding in a 17-runner handicap and directly relevant; this horse has already proven it handles this track. The MarkMv:+10 is a concern — it's running off a 10lb higher mark than at its last win — but the combination of top SR, elite jockey, market confidence and dominant course record makes it the standout selection. Each-way alternative: Moyassr. Main danger: Mythical Rock — Mythical Rock (SR:65, 11/2) has Course:W0P3 at Bellewstown — consistent placing at this track — and Ben Coen (11% strike rate) in the saddle, and though it has drifted 7% it remains the most course-proven rival and at a mark only 6lb below Dream Legend with 2lb less weight it has the profile to finish right in contention.
