Strikepoint silks

Strikepoint

SPECULATIVE Advised 7/1 Est. 10%

Mr Fox says

Strikepoint (SR:52, 7/1) is the most compelling positive signal in a deeply competitive 23-runner handicap. The market has shortened 15% since opening — the only meaningful steamer in the field — while carrying a featherweight 8-7 and showing DistFit:? and GoingFit:? rather than the near-universal DistFit:- and GoingFit:- that afflict almost every other runner. A 3-year-old running off a light weight with fresh money behind it is the profile that wins these messy sprint handicaps at the Curragh. Trainer Feane has a respectable 10% strike rate from 314 runners and 47 days off suggests this has been freshened with a purpose. Each-way alternative: She's On The Ball. Main danger: Eichan San — Eichan San (SR:58, 7/1) has Colin Keane booked — a 16% strike-rate jockey on 2,385 career rides — and carries only 9-1, giving it a weight advantage over most of the field, though DistFit:- and GoingFit:- are genuine concerns.
