Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Spacewoman
Spacewoman remains open to more improvement after breaking her maiden last time, with the switch to sprinting bringing out the best in her, and she's the pick of this field as our selection even up in the weights. Q T Pie, a creditable runner-up last time out, and Amelia's Joy, who is only a pound higher after her own runner-up effort, both look obvious dangers, while Carefree Dream, runner-up in each of her last two starts, is not poorly treated on the weights and can't be ruled out. Sayidah Aleen, progressing with every start and with a habit of placing in useful company, also commands respect on her handicap debut, but Spacewoman's fresh, upwardly mobile form gives her the clearest overall claim.
