Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Lets Mingle
Lets Mingle is narrowly behind the top-rated Garde Des Champs on these figures but is preferred on the strength of a progressive profile that suggests there is more to come over this extended trip at Perth, and good ground ought to suit. Garde Des Champs heads the ratings and will pose the most serious threat, with Summergrounds and Annie Agnew also capable of making their presence felt in a competitive ten-runner field. Lets Mingle is the selection.
