Pundit pick: Jackson Lamb

Jackson Lamb rates narrowly behind Rich Belief on paper, but a progressive profile over this stamina-testing twenty furlongs at Bellewstown makes him an appealing proposition ahead of the top-rated runner, and there is reason to think he has more to offer as the season develops. Rich Belief and Rocky's Howya both carry strong claims and will press hard throughout, while Tassarolo cannot be overlooked in a competitive fourteen-runner field on good ground. The case for our selection rests on trajectory rather than a rating advantage, and with confidence measured, Jackson Lamb is the pick.
