Mr Fox’s call
Social Symbol
SPECULATIVE Advised 5/4 Est. 35%
Mr Fox says
Social Symbol (SR:106, 5/4) is the clear class leader in this field — a full 8 points clear of the next-best runners at SR:98 — and carries 9-8 on a level weight basis with rivals while dropping a class (ClassMv:↓1). The form string 14433 shows consistent place-finding at a higher level, and DistFit:+ confirms proven ability over 6f. The Crisford yard runs at 19% career strike rate and Jack Mitchell brings a 16% SR from over 1,800 rides, a professional combination for a race where their runner is clearly the most able on the ratings. The only hesitation is the GoingFit:? — no established record on good-to-soft — but at SR:106 in a Class 2 conditions race with level weights, that uncertainty is manageable rather than disqualifying. Each-way alternative: A Bear Affair. Main danger: Super Tuscan — Super Tuscan has steamed dramatically (Mkt:in58%) and carries 2lb less than rivals at 9-6 — in a level-weights conditions race that 2lb edge is meaningful, and the stable money suggests connections believe the class rise (↑2) is within this horse's compass.
