Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Apache Outlaw
Apache Outlaw is our selection, sitting on top of our figures in this field of eleven at Limerick over six furlongs on firm ground. He's yet to add to his tally in his recent starts but has stayed competitive throughout, and the form still rates the strongest in this race. Morehampton, only a single pound behind on our figures, is the biggest danger, with Inishfallen and Clonmacash also fitting into this race on rating and unable to be ruled out. It's a moderate level of confidence rather than a standout selection, but Apache Outlaw is the one to beat.
