The Verdict
FormCast selectionCome On OverConfidence 4/5
Come On Over has a strong recent form line (144122) with two wins and consecutive placed efforts, running just 3 days ago suggesting fitness and stable confidence. Top-rated in the field at OR75 alongside Acclaimed Freedom, but with more consistent recent placings (1-2-2 in last three) versus Acclaimed's 6-2-4 pattern showing more inconsistency. The addition of a visor is a positive booking angle from O'Meara, a trainer with strong strike rates. Draw 3 is workable for a 6f AW dash. Weight of 138lbs is top weight but justified by clearly superior recent form - winning and running well against similar/better company. Korbut is interesting with 222212 form (very consistent) but hasn't broken through to win recently and steps up in class/company here from Prescott's yard - dangerous but the each-way habit (constant seconds) is a slight concern for backing to win. Million Gold looks respected with a fair recent run back from a break. Overall this looks like a formful, well-drawn, in-form runner at a fair price given the depth of the race - the two-run winning sequence into places suggests the yard has this ready to strike again fresh off a quick turnaround.
