Racing Record & Form
Second Fiddle is a seasoned campaigner with 50 career starts and 13 wins, operating at a 26% strike rate. However, his current form is what catches the eye.
He arrives here seeking a hat-trick, having won his last two races in impressive style.
Last Run (9th Dec): He secured a victory over this course and distance, beating Windgap Deise by 2 lengths.
Previous Run (2nd Dec): A week prior, he won again, showing he is currently the alpha in this grade.

The Race Analysis: 14:41 A1 Grade (400m)
This is top-grade A1 company, but everything points to another big run.
The Draw: He is housed in Trap 4, which the racecard describes as “Ideally drawn.” He is a middle runner who traps well, and the black vest suits his running style perfectly.
The Clock: The analyst notes he is “narrowly the one to beat on the clock.” In A1 racing, those split-second advantages at the start often decide the race.
Trainer Form: The J.S.J. Simpson kennel is absolutely flying, boasting a massive 31.81% strike rate over the last 21 days. When a stable is this hot, you follow them.
Verdict: He is drawn well, trained by the form kennel, and chasing a hat-trick. He sets the standard today.
