Mr Fox’s call
Tryst
SPECULATIVE Advised 13/2 Est. 28%
Mr Fox says
Tryst (SR 97, 13/2) is the highest-rated horse in the field by a clear margin and drops a class with a 10% market move in — money backing a horse at Newmarket in a fillies' handicap is meaningful. The GoingFit:+ confirms she handles good to firm ground, and at 10-0 she carries a workable weight given her SR superiority. The MarkMv:+5 is a mild concern but the class drop from a stronger contest largely offsets it, and trainer George Boughey (18% strike rate) is a yard that operates at a high level on the Newmarket straight. Each-way alternative: Starlight Lass. Main danger: Starlight Lass — Starlight Lass (SR 91, 9/4) is the market favourite, holds Course:W1P1 and DistFit:+ at Newmarket over 7f, drops a class, and is trained by the high-strike-rate Gosden yard with Colin Keane aboard — the slight drift of 8% is the only note of caution and could easily be overcautious money rather than a genuine negative signal.
