Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Zitkala Sa
Zitkala Sa ran a notably encouraging race at 40-1 on her first try in handicap company, finishing third, and as the top-rated runner here she is entitled to build on that with the experience now behind her. A first-time tongue-tie is added and she stays today's 10f. Femme Beauty, placed most recently over further and dropping in trip, is the chief danger, while Delusional returns to a more suitable distance in first-time blinkers. Zitkala Sa is our selection.
