Flat (AW)6fTAPETA: STANDARD TO SLOWClass 23yo+14 runners
Tight readFahrenheit Seven just edges it from Power Fizz and Annaf — top 3 covered by 3 RPR.
Power Fizz is the only confirmed front-runner, so expect a steady gallop the leader can control — a powerful setup if left alone up front. On recent form Annaf sets the standard (RPR 114). By our composite read Fahrenheit Seven shapes as the one they all have to beat — goes well on the standard, has won at the track, is proven at the trip. Note Caburn for an in-form yard. In truth this is a tight heat — Fahrenheit Seven just shades it from Power Fizz on our read, so each-way thinking and the placepot make sense.
How it played out: Tuco Salamanca won. Our top composite read Fahrenheit Seven finished 13th.
The key questions
How will the race be run?
Power Fizz is the only confirmed front-runner, so expect a steady gallop the leader can control — a powerful setup if left alone up front.
Does the draw matter?
Low draws are favoured over sprint at Newcastle (AW) (impact value 1.16, beating 49% of rivals on average).
Any unexposed improver?
Rapper's Delight is lightly-raced with a profile to progress — the type to respect on potential.
Anyone well-treated?
Cool Hoof Luke drops in class — often a positive trainer angle.
Who's the main danger?
Power Fizz is the chief threat to Fahrenheit Seven, met trouble last time — and on our figures there's barely a length between them.
