Ffos Las 4:19 Result

Small four-runner novice with a clear standout in Lucky Radar. His solitary run produced a runner-up finish, he's fresh off a run just 21 days ago (much more recent than his rivals), and he has the services of Oisin Murphy, arguably the strongest jockey booking in the field - a clear intent signal from Rod Millman's yard. Being by Lucky Vega, a sire whose stock handle soft ground and sprint/mile trips well, he looks bred to progress into this trip on this surface. Aerial Silk has more experience (form figures 434-78) but has been below that level of form recently and hasn't won yet, while carrying a similar weight. Circle of Secrets is a total unknown, laid off for 167 days with no form figures shown, hard to trust fitness-wise for a gelding stepping into a novice stakes off a big level. Just Johnny's solitary "7" form figure is unpromising and suggests he was well beaten last time. With the small field, decent recent piece of form and a big jockey upgrade, Lucky Radar looks the most progressive, fits today's conditions/trip, and represents a solid win-bet even without firm market prices given. No other runner offers value at bigger odds worth an each-way place bet in such a small, short-priced-orientated field.
