Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party

Pundit pick: Burford Beauty

Hexagonal tops our figures, while Georg Zhukov and Magna Gee Gee also loom as significant dangers, each having landed a win within the last three starts. Burford Beauty is only 2 lb behind Hexagonal on our figures but gets the vote as our selection on a more rounded, progressive profile. With three genuine threats in behind, this looks a competitive heat at Gowran Park and our confidence in Burford Beauty stretches only to low.
