Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: South Parade

South Parade may sit a few pounds behind both Pouting and Jojo Rabbit on ratings, but a progressive profile and a clear fitness edge make a compelling case for preferring her here over a five-furlong dash on good ground at Musselburgh. Pouting heads the field on ratings and cannot be dismissed, while Jojo Rabbit and Albegone are capable of making this competitive, yet neither appears to hold the same upward trajectory. South Parade is our selection.
