Mr Fox says

Moon Over Miami (SR:88, 11/2, 10-0) has been dramatically steamed in the market — a 43% move in from an opening price is the most significant market signal in the race and demands respect. Dropping one class (ClassMv:↓1) into a Class 3 handicap over 2m on soft is a logical and well-timed move from the Ralph Beckett yard (17% strike rate, the strongest trainer in the field), and Hector Crouch at 17% provides a competent booking. While the form string 1-5040 is mixed, the standout win earlier in the sequence and today's class drop combine with the aggressive market move to present a compelling case. Carrying 10-0 is not a burden in this modest field where the SR ceiling is only 91. Each-way alternative: Maxident. Main danger: Maxident — Maxident (SR:91, highest in the field, 7/2, 9-8) has shortened 10% in the market, carries a favourable weight, and the form string 421-22 shows consistent placed efforts at this level — if the pace suits a prominent racer, this is the one most likely to deny Moon Over Miami.
