Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Mayflower
Mayflower heads this eight-runner contest at Killarney on a mile of good ground, sitting a clear seven points ahead of Manton Bay on our figures and carrying the strongest profile in the field. The chief dangers come from Manton Bay, who is capable on her day, and Iamimmaculate, a further few pounds below on our assessments, while Elmakaya also merits a mention for those seeking each-way interest. Confidence is medium rather than high, so a career-best effort or a clean run through from Mayflower will be needed to see off those rivals, but the weight of form evidence points her way. Mayflower is our selection.
