Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Merrijig
Merrijig shares the joint-highest rating in this eight-runner Class 6 staying contest at Ffos Las over sixteen furlongs on good ground, and is preferred over the equally-rated Lusaka on the strength of a progressive profile that suggests there may be more to come. Golden Flame, two pounds adrift, and Simiyann, six pounds back, represent the chief threats and cannot be discounted in a competitive little heat at this level. Confidence is modest, but the progressive case for Merrijig edges it ahead on balance, and the selection is Merrijig.
