Mr Fox’s call
Blue Bolt
HIGH Advised 3/10 SP 1/4F Est. 68%
Mr Fox says
Blue Bolt (SR 135, 3/10) is simply in a different class to every other runner in this field — the next-best SR is City of Memphis at 117, an 18-point gulf that is enormous at this level. The form line of -11111 is as emphatic as it gets, five consecutive wins culminating in a Group 1 success, and today represents a ClassMv:= assignment so there is no step into the unknown. Newmarket course form (W1P2), DistFit:+ and GoingFit:+ on good to firm confirm every surface and distance box is ticked, while the market has shortened a further 9% to an already dominant 3/10 — the money is fully committed. Andrew Balding runs at an 18% strike rate from over 3,000 runners and Colin Keane is an accomplished big-race pilot; connections carry no concerns. Each-way alternative: City of Memphis. Main danger: City of Memphis — City of Memphis (SR 117, 6/1) is the only runner within plausible striking distance on ability, has DistFit:+ and a recent form line of 1112 suggesting consistent competitiveness, with trainer P. Twomey striking at 24% — though the 21% market drift and GoingFit:? on today's ground temper any real optimism.
