Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Stargazed
Stargazed holds a fitness edge over the top-rated Advertised and arrives on a progressive profile that suggests there is more to come, making a case for reversing what is a five-pound gap on ratings alone. Advertised cannot be dismissed lightly, and Germanic alongside Vantheman are threats at similar ratings in a competitive five-furlong heat on good-to-soft ground at Hamilton. The confidence here is not high, and punters should be aware this is a race that could easily go the way of the top-rated runner, but the belief is that Stargazed's upward curve gives her the edge on the day. The selection is Stargazed.
