Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Kalokalo

Kalokalo has been progressive in recent starts and was unfortunate last time, going second after committing to the lead too early; the shorter distance today should play into his hands and he is clear of the field on our ratings. Areti and Lillie Margot — both capable of better — are the chief dangers, but Kalokalo is our selection.
