Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Zgharta
Zgharta and Spinning Lizzie head this Goodwood ten-furlong Class 2 on equal ratings, with Wisper and Lady Dora Mae the chief dangers lurking just beneath them. There is little to separate the pair on our figures, though Spinning Lizzie represents a genuine rival capable of matching her stride for stride, and the pair could fight this out to the line. On balance, **Zgharta** is our selection, though the contest is delicately poised.
