Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Arapaho Gold
Arapaho Gold stands out in what looks a modest contest, having landed a maiden at this course on debut over five furlongs — beating a rival who went on to win, by upwards of two lengths and with little asked of him. A physically imposing son of Bayside Boy with considerable scope, he should prove hard to contain. Travellers Girl caught the eye on her debut and shapes as the chief threat, while Harry Who — bought for 22,000 euros as a foal — is a newcomer worth monitoring in the market. Arapaho Gold is our selection.
