Mr Fox’s call
Zamond
SPECULATIVE Advised 4/1 Est. 32%
Mr Fox says
Zamond (SR 97, 4/1) is the class best of the field by a clear margin and carries top-weight of 12-0 but that is partly offset by his substantial SR advantage over the second-best rated horse (Whitewinewednesday at SR 87). His recent form of -82123 shows a consistent pattern of placing and winning at this level, and critically he has a course record of W1P2 at Sedgefield — a specialist track where course form matters. The market has firmed 13% since opening, confirming professional money has come for him. GoingFit:+ confirms he handles today's good ground, which is further corroboration. The main concern is DistFit:- at this 2m3f188y trip, but his broader staying form and class edge over these rivals make him the standout selection. Each-way alternative: Lillistar. Main danger: Whitewinewednesday — Whitewinewednesday (SR 87, 6/5 favourite) is trained by the formidable W.P. Mullins with a 26% career strike rate, ridden by Mr P W Mullins who strikes at 33%, has been supported in from morning, and despite GoingFit:- and DistFit:- concerns, the sheer quality of connections means it cannot be dismissed as a serious danger.
