Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Margot Mae

Margot Mae heads this seven-furlong Galway contest on ratings, sitting narrowly ahead of the two 85-rated rivals I Ready and Celtic Moon, and her profile gives reasonable grounds for confidence at the trip on good ground. I Ready and Celtic Moon represent the principal threats, with Eighteenth Smiles also respected just behind them, and any of that trio could make life difficult if Margot Mae fails to reproduce her best. The key is whether she delivers on her rating advantage when the race begins in earnest on the turn for home. **Margot Mae** is our selection.
