Pundit pick: Positive Thoughts

Positive Thoughts is the pick at Hamilton, sitting clear at the top of our figures for this seven-runner Class 6 over eight furlongs on good to soft. Hostelry, Defence Missile and Second Fiddle are the leading dangers, each within a handful of pounds on our book, but none matches the selection's overall figure. Positive Thoughts is our selection with high confidence.
