Mr Fox’s call
Truth Be Told
SPECULATIVE Advised 11/2 Est. 22%
Mr Fox says
Truth Be Told holds the highest SR in the field at 95, carries a workable 9-6, and the market has gently firmed (Mkt:in5%) despite a MarkMv:+10 penalty — suggesting connections and the market believe there is more improvement in this 4-year-old. W. J. Lee's booking (15% career strike rate, 1896 runners — the strongest jockey record in this field) adds significant weight to the selection. The GoingFit:- is a concern, but at 11/2 the SR advantage of 6+ points over the next-best contender and the positive market drift outweigh it. The form line 41-126 shows a recent second and a win earlier in the campaign, confirming consistent competitiveness at this level. Each-way alternative: Noble Honour. Main danger: Johnny Soda — Johnny Soda (SR:94, 9/2) is the only horse in the field with confirmed GoingFit:+ AND DistFit:+, meaning today's conditions genuinely suit, and despite a MarkMv:+10 penalty his 3-year-old allowance and course form (W0P1) keep him dangerous at a price where the market drift (Mkt:out19%) may be overdone.
