Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Almeraq
Almeraq is our selection, preferred ahead of the higher-rated Satono Reve on the strength of a more progressive profile. His recent form, fitness and fit with today's conditions all support his claims in a competitive Class 1 sprint. Satono Reve, Big Mojo and Venetian Sun all pose danger, with Big Mojo matching our selection on figures. Confidence in the pick is only medium given the strength and depth of this field.
