Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Act Of Kindness
This looks a competitive contest with our three principals fairly closely matched. ACT OF KINDNESS, our selection, gets the vote after finishing just ahead of a market rival at York last time, a run since franked, and she looks sure to appreciate racing on quicker ground back at today's trip. Sacred Ground, who has been runner-up at this level in three of her last four starts, rates the biggest threat but can be an excitable sort to manage, while Andrew Balding's Pacific Mission, placed at the top level as a juvenile, and Silenciosa, a big filly open to more improvement after a break, also both have solid claims. It's tight up top, but ACT OF KINDNESS's fresher assessment and suitability to today's conditions edge it for us.
