🏆 WON

Mr Fox says

Maria da Silva (SR 76, 5/2) is the clear SR leader in this field by 7 points over the next-best, carries a workable 9-11, and is trained by Andrew Balding (18% strike rate, 3150 runners — the strongest handler in the race) with Oisin Murphy aboard (22% career strike rate, 2832 runners — the standout jockey booking). Her form string -11445 shows back-to-back wins before a slight drop in her last two, but she runs at the same class (ClassMv:=) and only 2lb higher than her last win (MarkMv:+2), meaning conditions are not materially tougher. The market is confident at 5/2 with no drift flagged. GoingFit:? is the one open question — she is unproven on good-to-soft — but Kempton AW essentially neutralises going concerns, and the Balding/Murphy combination does not turn up for a Class 5 fillies' handicap without purpose. Each-way alternative: Goomah. Main danger: Amarachi — Amarachi (SR 68, 11/2) has steamed in 19% in the market (Mkt:in19%), carries a light 9-6, and shows consistent placed form (612333), suggesting stable confidence that the market is reflecting even if the SR trails Maria da Silva by 8 points.
