Kapitein Kool

SPECULATIVE Advised 8/1 Est. 28%

🥉 3RD

Mr Fox says

Kapitein Kool (SR:114, 8/1) is the standout on multiple converging signals. A Mkt:in49% steam is the strongest market move in the field by a considerable margin — the money is clearly very confident — and this is backed by a class drop of two tiers (ClassMv:↓2) which puts him comfortably ahead on paper over these rivals. His mark has also dropped 2lb below his last win (MarkMv:-2), giving connections a live handicapping angle. GoingFit:+ confirms he handles today's good-to-soft conditions, and at 11-10 he carries a favourable weight relative to the top-weights at 12-2. The 22170 form shows a recent win and the '0' last time is explained by a likely bad run at a higher class before this drop; the overall profile screams of a horse being set up for a target. Each-way alternative: Marlacoo. Main danger: Marlacoo — Marlacoo (SR:115, 7/2, Mkt:in30%) carries the highest SR in the field, is the market favourite, has steamed 30% since opening, and gets weight from Kapitein Kool at 11-5 — a potent combination that makes him the obvious danger if the money is right.
