Pundit pick: Rocking Ends

Rocking Ends, rated a clear 91, heads this competitive Class 4 sprint over the minimum trip. Three rivals are stacked closely behind him on our figures, leaving little to choose between them for the places. At medium confidence, Rocking Ends' rating edge over a deep field makes him the narrow selection.
