Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: My Girl Katie
My Girl Katie sits a few pounds behind the top two on ratings, but her progressive profile is the compelling reason to side with her over a field that includes the more exposed Final Entry and Jack The Savage, both of whom she trails narrowly on paper; twenty-six furlongs on good ground at Newton Abbot should pose no problem for a mare still finding improvement. Final Entry heads the ratings and cannot be dismissed, while Jack The Savage and Touchwoodexpress will also make their presence felt in what is a competitive Class 5 heat. The verdict lands with My Girl Katie.
