Mr Fox’s call
Dust Cover
SPECULATIVE Advised 2/1 Est. 35%
Mr Fox says
Dust Cover (SR 79, 2/1) matches Cosmo Brown at the top of the SR rankings but carries 5lb more weight (10-1 vs 9-4), yet that weight difference is offset by significantly superior course form — two wins and three places at Southwell is a powerful specialist record on an idiosyncratic AW track. The market has steamed in 29% from opening, the largest positive move in the field, suggesting connections are bullish. Dropping two class tiers means this is a much easier race than recent starts, and while the mark is 5lb higher than last win, the class relief more than compensates. GoingFit:~ is the one mild concern, but Southwell's Fibresand surface blunts going variation considerably. Each-way alternative: Cosmo Brown. Main danger: Cosmo Brown — Cosmo Brown (SR 79, 7/2) matches Dust Cover on ability rating and carries 11lb less weight (9-4), which is a meaningful physical advantage over 1m6f; Marco Ghiani's 16% career strike rate and a recent consistent form line of 836324 in stronger races suggests this horse is capable of stepping up when conditions ease.
