Mr Fox says

Able Tasman (SR:84, 11/4) is the market leader and has been backed in 9% since opening — real money supporting a 2yo with a form line of 3-1 (last run a win) in a novice where most rivals are unproven. James Doyle (21% strike rate, 1211 career rides) is a significant booking for Archie Watson (15%, 1405 runners), and the same-class move (ClassMv:=) means connections are not overreaching. Quintillion (SR:151) is theoretically the highest-rated horse but has drifted 25% from opening and posted a '2' last time having been '7' on debut — inconsistent and now being opposed by the market. Status Symbol (SR:150, 9/2) is the real danger with strong market support (in 13%), but Able Tasman's recent winning form and backer confidence make it the most complete case in the field. Each-way alternative: Status Symbol. Main danger: Status Symbol — Status Symbol (SR:150, 9/2) has been backed in 13% since opening — the strongest market move in the field — and a single run of '4' from Ed Walker with Kieran Shoemark retained suggests connections believe significant improvement is imminent stepping up in trip.
