Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party

Pundit pick: Four Blondes

Four Blondes is narrowly behind the top-rated Treasured Royal on figures but is preferred on the basis of a progressive profile and a perceived fitness edge in this wide-open 31-runner sprint at the Curragh, where her upward trajectory makes her an appealing proposition on good ground over six furlongs. Treasured Royal heads the ratings and must be respected, while Poweracclaim and Soulful Diva are not far off the pace on their respective ratings and could each make their presence felt in such a competitive field. This is a low-confidence call in a race of this size and complexity, but the progressive case for Four Blondes is compelling enough to take the chance. Four Blondes is the selection.
