Fifty Fifty looks standout selection in bumper TT
Rookie trainer Caspar Fownes holds the key to winning an estimated $50 million in the Triple Trio with progressive galloper Fifty Fifty, who is a clear choice for banker in the final leg. The talented sort has never missed the frame in four career starts, which include two victories, one of them over 1,400 metres.
He lost nothing in defeat to Upbeat over that distance this month. The leader stole a break at the top of the straight, but Fifty Fifty stuck on gamely all the way to the wire. He strikes slightly weaker opposition here and should have every chance of saluting for visiting rider Patrick Payne.
Ivan Allan has his yard firing just now but Scintillation has been in cracking form all season, having hit the frame on all five starts. He was beaten by subsequent winner San Lorenzo on February 1, which looks rock solid form, and he should figure in the finish again.
Healthy Fruits has taken a little time to hit form, but finished third over the course and distance to Agility on February 22 in what was a sound performance. The booking of Olivier Peslier is a positive and he must be kept safe.
Super Charge displayed improvement with the blinkers applied at his last outing when second to Circuit Kingdom over 1,400 metres, and looks a solid chance again. Bowin is another holding his form rather well and is capable of filling a minor placing.
With three victories and two seconds from his last five starts, it is hard to find a better option for banker than My Choice in the opening leg. He has missed the frame only once in seven attempts over 1,400 metres and looks a leading contender here.
Kiddyland has fallen a long way in the ratings and now looks competitively weighted. The booking of Douglas Whyte and barrier one should ensure he has every chance.
