Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Phantom Watch
Phantom Watch took this course and distance last week with authority and is the obvious pick to follow up — effective at 8f to 9f on a sound surface and with a top jockey aboard. Daretobedifferent has placed form and a win two starts back; she is the clear second choice. Just Typical is on a workable mark and can do best of the remainder if he bounces back. Phantom Watch is our selection.
