Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Tyger Bay
Tyger Bay heads this nine-runner Windsor sprint on good-to-firm ground with a narrow edge over the chasing pack, sitting four pounds clear of Lil Brother and Moving Force and five ahead of Angel Gabriel, and that advantage looks meaningful enough over six furlongs on a track that rewards a horse in form. Lil Brother and Moving Force share the same rating and will push hardest, while Angel Gabriel is only a pound further back and cannot be entirely dismissed at a track where pace holds up well. The confidence is measured rather than absolute, but the ratings edge combined with the conditions points in one direction. Tyger Bay is the selection.
