Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Brave Nation
Brave Nation has shown a progressive profile that makes a compelling case for upsetting Ruby's Profit, who holds a narrowly superior rating, and the good-to-firm five furlongs at Goodwood looks tailor-made for a horse still finding improvement. Grandlad and Rogue Bullet are the chief secondary dangers and cannot be dismissed on their ratings, though neither appears to be on an upward curve in the same fashion. With the progressive angle the decisive factor in siding against the top-rated runner, Brave Nation is the selection.
