Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Galileo Dame
Galileo Dame is our selection for this Fairyhouse feature, preferred over the top of the ratings on a progressive profile and a clock that backs up her form. Her rating of 104 sits just behind the head of these figures, but that shape of form points to more to come. Goodie Two Shoes, Perfect Your Craft and Bloom all pose the main threats, yet Galileo Dame is the one to side with at high confidence.
