Mr Fox’s call
Badri
SPECULATIVE Advised 9/2 Est. 32%
Mr Fox says
Badri (SR 102, 9/2) is the clear ability leader in this field by a meaningful margin — 10 SR points clear of Fluorescence — and brings outstanding course form of W3P4 at Pontefract, which is a genuine specialist track where familiarity pays dividends. The going is Good to Firm, a confirmed positive (GoingFit:+), and the market has firmed 7% since opening, matching the same support seen for Fluorescence. Yes, the mark is +7 above his last win and he's 9 years old carrying 10-0, but the weight spread is manageable at a short sprint trip (5f3y), and Michael Herrington has placed him cannily enough to post W3P4 at this course. His recent form of 171110 shows a win just 6 days ago — he arrives in peak fitness and with obvious race-fitness. Each-way alternative: Fluorescence. Main danger: Fluorescence — Fluorescence (SR 92, 15/8) is the market's choice with matching 7% market support, carries only 9-7 versus Badri's 10-0, and GoingFit:+ confirms she handles the ground — if her class edge over the mark is underweighted by SR, she's the most likely winner.
