Brighton 5:00 Result

Superstorm won last time out and the form figures 246641 show a horse in tremendous, progressive form, culminating in a victory. Charlie Fellowes is a canny handler and this 3yo is clearly on a nice trajectory, still weighted on the OR 52 mark despite the win suggesting the assessor hasn't fully caught up. Draw 1 is workable over 7f at Brighton's tricky track, and the addition of a visor could sharpen him further for a quick 17-day turnaround, indicating the yard is pushing on with a fit, in-form horse. Kondratiev Wave (224624) is the obvious market rival with course experience and a solid record, but at 9 years old with a stack of runs he looks to have less upside, and the piece of headgear (blinkers) hasn't been transformative. Thanks Dad's recent 861 figures are moving the right way but he was well beaten in that last start before the '1'. Mister Sandman (34-424) is consistent without winning and has to prove he can find more. Neat And Tidy and Girls Allowed are unexposed types but their form figures (59-055, 66-462) show more promise than proven scoring ability. Superstorm's trajectory, recent win, and being fully summer-fit make him the one to beat, and he looks the most likely type to franchise this into a second success rather than one who's already flattered to deceive. I'll take him as the strongest form combined with value case in this competitive Class 6 heat.
