Pundit pick: Fast TrackDiffers from our pick

Fast Track heads this thirteen-runner Class 1 sprint at Newbury rated narrowly ahead of the chasing pack, and on good-to-firm ground over five furlongs the conditions look well suited to showing that edge at its best. Wateera and Acclamation Star share the same rating and must be respected as the most likely threats, while Lover Girl is only a pound or so further back and cannot be dismissed in what shapes as a competitive heat. The selection's superiority may be modest, but in a race of this nature even a small advantage in class and ability can prove decisive, and Fast Track is taken to confirm that standing.
