Pundit pick: She'll Be Kept

She'll Be Kept shares the race's leading figure and gets the vote ahead of the other horse tied with her, preferred on a fitness edge after a run just 19 days ago against a much longer absence for that rival. A placed effort three starts back, plus experience over today's trip and going, back up the case, even allowing for a couple of exits in the book. Fool Me Once, Rushford and Joshua Chamberlain are the chief dangers, all within five pounds on our figures, with Fool Me Once level with her on the number but short of recent racing. She'll Be Kept is the selection in a race that rates competitive rather than one-sided.
