Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Filibustering
Filibustering arrives at Perth on a progressive profile that makes the three-pound gap to The Last Cloud look less significant than it appears on paper, and a fitness edge over the top-rated runner tips the balance in his favour on this good ground over two miles. The Last Cloud is the obvious threat and cannot be dismissed lightly, while Squeezebox and Medieval Gold add further substance to the dangers, so this is far from a straightforward call. Filibustering is our selection.
