Ffos Las 1:49 Result

Rhodes Runner has the strongest form profile in the field - form figures 246421 show consistent progression culminating in a recent win, with the horse clearly on an upward curve. Top-weight at 135lbs with OR 75 is justified by that improving form line, and Ralph Beckett is a top-tier trainer for two-year-old sprinters who knows how to place them for a nursery win. Eight days since last run means fitness is fresh and the yard is clearly happy with the horse's condition given the quick backup run. Draw 4 is workable at Ffos Las over 5f. Rhys Clutterbuck has been aboard for the recent form and the arrangement continuity is a plus. Rivals: Blondie Larry (522) and Knock Three Times (224154) both have solid form but Knock Three Times' pattern shows some inconsistency after early placed efforts, and the step up to handicap company with a big weight is unproven. Niewiadoma's recent form line (190004) is patchy with a blank run last time. Perigord Noir and Wolf's Gallop are dropping in class/weight but neither shows the same trajectory of improvement as the selection. Naval Cop is respected on a recent third but is up against classier legwork here. Rhodes Runner looks the one to be on an upward curve with the runs to back it, and represents a fair alignment between form and price given it should not be prohibitively short given the competitive nursery field.
