Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Princess Child
Princess Child heads this 12-runner Class 1 seven-furlong contest at Cork on good ground, rated six pounds clear of Carolina Jetstream and a shade further clear of Keke and Fort Vega, though the margins are close enough to keep confidence measured. Carolina Jetstream and Keke are the most obvious threats, both rated within a handful of pounds and capable of closing the gap on the day, while Fort Vega also merits respect in a competitive field. The selection's rating edge gives her a slender claim at the top of the weights, and on the figures she is the one to beat. The verdict is for Princess Child.
