Pundit pick: Desert Charm

Desert Charm won narrowly last time and now drops in class, heading our figures by a clear margin — the standout here. Nicely Curved was unlucky last time and rates the main danger; Heer's Sadie showed her best form last time and Drafted also has claims. Desert Charm is our selection.
