Single-race breakdown with model vs market, value edge, confidence, and the reasons Slims Pickins is leaning in or stepping out.
Shes Got A Brother rates as the value NAP at 48.6% fair chance versus 45.5% market probability (+9.5% EV).
The main play combines fair-price edge, suitability for conditions, and enough confidence to justify involvement.
The market still matters, but the aim is to find where price and reality have drifted apart.
Shes Got A Brother rates as the value NAP at 48.6% fair chance versus 45.5% market probability (+9.5% EV).
Showed ability when in the frame in four of her first five starts, but she didn't run very well on her handicap debut here (6f) three weeks ago; doesn't seem to be progressing and needs the drop to 5f to make a difference; stable won this last year.
100,000gns 2yo; sent off 11-1 when making all on her debut over C&D 19 days ago; stable doesn't have many go in first time and the runner-up has won since, so she could be above-average; respected.
Both starts for Ralph Beckett last year were at Ascot (5f, good to firm), making a winning debut in May (form worked out well) before finishing in midfield in the Queen Mary the following month; half-sister to a couple of AW winners; market informative on stable debut (same owner) after 314 days off.
In the frame in two starts over 5f at Sandown (good) and Nottingham (good to soft) as a 2yo; stable has had a couple of winners recently and worth a market check on return from seven months off.
Well held in both starts, finishing over 6l behind Shes Got A Brother over C&D on the second occasion; 6lb pull not enough to tempt.
12-1 when beating one home on her Newcastle debut (6f, Tapeta) in December; major improvement required.
26,000euros foal; 11,000euros yearling, 35,000gns breeze-up 2yo; half-sister to winners So Chic (7f/1m AW; RPR 69) and Diego Spirit (Italian 6f 2yo/1m); dam placed 7f in France, sister to 7f-1m6f Flat/2m hurdle winner, half-sister to Italian 5f Listed winner Gamgoom; probably only of interest if backed on debut.
Third of ten on her Chelmsford return (7f, Polytrack) in March, but hasn't gone on in two subsequent starts; needs a resurgence down in tip.
First foal; dam 5f/6f winner (including 2yo/Group 3; RPR 110), closely related to Swedish 6f winner Siphon River (including 2yo), half-sister to winners Mr Minerals (7f 2yo/1m), Insomnia (7f) and Ormskirk (6f-1m4f); appealing pedigree and makes her debut in a winnable race.
