Mr Fox says

Chemdawg (SR:90, 7/2) shares the joint-top SR in the field alongside Ripsnorter and Koeur A Prendre, but carries a featherweight 10-1 — the lightest in the race — giving him a substantial weight advantage over rivals rated similarly or lower. His recent form of PP21-2 shows a genuine revival: a win followed by a close second last time out, and the market has shortened 11% since opening, confirming professional support. The tongue-tie and blinkers combination (HG:tb) suggests connections are taking this seriously, and Phillip Enright provides a competent jockey booking with meaningful experience. While MarkMv:+8 means he's running off a mark 8lb higher than his last win, the weight-for-age advantage at 10-1 versus rivals carrying 11st+ largely neutralises that concern. Each-way alternative: Koeur A Prendre. Main danger: Koeur A Prendre — Koeur A Prendre (SR:93, 10/3) is joint-top of the SR rankings, has shown consistent placed form (770-22) with two consecutive seconds, and despite a 10% market drift carries only 10-10 — just 9lb more than Chemdawg — making the weight concession manageable if his form trajectory continues upward.
