What the facts say

  • Aurelune (3yo, Richard & Peter Fahey, OR 58, 9-7) – figures 6732, 41 days since its last run.
  • Zooter (3yo, Tom Dascombe, OR 60, 9-9) – figures 3434, 36 days since its last run.

Our view

Best selection: Aurelune. Recent figures of 6732 – consistently in the frame; 41 days since its last run, a sensible gap; trainer Richard & Peter Fahey has had 1 winner from 5 runners in our recent records.

The case against: Zooter is close on the numbers; handicap marks are meant to level the field; we can't yet confirm how it handles standard ground from our own records.

Others to consider: Zooter and Coxy's Star.
