Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Sun Goddess
Sun Goddess put up the benchmark performance in this field eight days ago at Ascot — beaten only a length in a Group 3, pulling clear of the remainder — and her course form, the favoured conditions, and the trainer's strong record in this race make a compelling case. Velozee has smart course and distance form, while Controlla, below expectations at Ascot last time, has debut form that has been well franked since and is capable of better. Beibhinn, a recent winner whose debut has been boosted at Group level, completes the main dangers. Sun Goddess is our selection.
