Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Gal
Gal heads this Class 6 field on our figures at 62, well clear of her modest official mark of 51 despite finishing no better than third in her last five starts. Lope Y Linda, with two wins from her last six runs, and Musical Soldier both look the biggest dangers, while Poetic Grace also rates well above her official mark. A 22-day gap since Gal's last run is a minor note, but the rating gap makes her the one to side with. Selection: Gal.
