Pundit pick: Pirate Island

Pirate Island heads this competitive 19-runner staying contest at Killarney on good ground narrowly ahead of Deise Crystal on our ratings, and that edge, modest as it is, sits on top of a profile that merits respect over the extended two and a half miles. Deise Crystal and Pure Logic are the most credible threats in a race where Mc Swagger also demands a degree of caution at the foot of the leading group. With confidence tempered only by the size of the field, Pirate Island is our selection.
