The Verdict
FormCast selectionMolly MacConfidence 4/5Didn't win
Molly Mac is in career-best form with a 242611 sequence, winning her last two starts and clearly progressive, running only 10 days ago so fitness is not an issue. Top weight at 135lbs is deserved given the form, and she's already proven capable of winning off a similar mark. Cape Toronada (642141) is the obvious market rival with a similar recent win, but Molly Mac's figures look to be trending in a steeper upward curve and she has more recent experience of getting the job done under pressure. Draw 6 is workable at Windsor's 6f, not ideal but not a big handicap either. Star Obsession has class on pedigree (Frankel/Haggas) but a 194-day layoff and only a 4th last time raises questions about fitness and whether she stays competitive fresh off a break in a competitive handicap. The other runners are all lower-rated and have had checkered recent form (Koffee And Kale, Beach Partee, Hellcat, Angel Summer, Magic Lady Mae) without matching the upward trajectory of the top two. Given Molly Mac's momentum, quick turnaround, and proven scoring ability at this level, she is the best combination of form and reliability in this race, edging out Cape Toronada as the value banker rather than the market's likely favourite.
