Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Amerilis
Amerilis heads this 12-runner five-furlong contest at Cork on good ground holding a narrow edge over the chasing pack, sitting three pounds clear of Gonna Be Golden and five ahead of The Right One on our figures, though this is no foregone conclusion in a competitive sprint. Gonna Be Golden and The Right One represent the most credible threats, with Kiss Don't Tell also meriting respect as a runner who could outrun her rating on the day. The confidence is measured rather than absolute, but Amerilis holds the strongest case on paper and is taken to justify that advantage. The selection is Amerilis.
