Pundit pick: Pure Logic

Pure Logic is the selection in this deep eight-runner Stratford heat over 18f on good to firm, sharing top billing on our figures at 99 with A Tickatickatiming and La Lolita. Basilette (98) is close behind and also among the leading dangers, while Miss Kassiopi, Yanka Blue, Sadies Diamond and Miss Fedora make up a competitive rest of the field. With three rivals rated within a pound, confidence in the pick is low, but Pure Logic gets the vote on the figures we hold.
