“Involved in the pace argument early - hit the front approaching the final 3f - pressed for effort over 2f out and opened a two-length gap with a furlong left - margin narrowed close home - had to dig deep and edged home”

Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Quercus
Quercus rates 6 lb below the top-rated Daytona Lady on our figures, yet a progressive profile suggests there is more to come from this runner and the Class 6 company over six furlongs at Catterick looks an appropriate opportunity to capitalise. Daytona Lady heads the field on ratings and must be respected alongside Miss Rainbow and Jm Jhingree, all of whom sit above Quercus on the figures and represent the chief dangers. The selection is taken on the strength of an upward trajectory that may not yet be fully reflected in the ratings, though the superior-rated rivals make this a genuinely open contest. Quercus is our selection.
