The Verdict
FormCast selectionJordan ElectricsConfidence 3/5Didn't win
Jordan Electrics arrives in career-best form with a strong 313001 sequence culminating in a recent win, and crucially he's back quickly (7 days) suggesting the yard is happy with him and he's fit and firing. Jim Goldie is a shrewd handler of sprint handicappers at this level and knows how to place them for maximum effect, while Mulrennan is an experienced Hamilton rider comfortable with tight, undulating tracks. His OR of 84 looks fair for this grade and the yard has evidently found a leaf out of the book that suits him on this soft ground - his profile of course/trip winners fits nicely here. Topwarrior (Beckett) has more raw class on paper but his form figures show a doubtful conclusion after an early season win, and the concentration of his talent stable comes with the concern he may be stepping up in company/conditions that don't suit as well after a break. Francisco's Piece and City Captain both look consistent but are shorter in the market and don't offer as much thinking-power. Gaeli's finishing figures with the 0 at the end and a 51-day break look questionable for fitness, while Copper Knight at 12 with a big weight swing looks the one to beat only on pure recent-form romance but his age and drop from a different grade raise questions. Overall, Jordan Electrics' current form trajectory, being fresh off a win just a week ago, and being sent off with confidence looks the strongest match of profile to price in this messy 5f sprint.
