AI-written, grounded in our data on this race. May be wrong. Verify before staking. Opinion, not advice.
Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Gemini Star
Gemini Star heads this 14-runner Class 6 contest at Yarmouth over seven furlongs on good ground, sitting narrowly ahead of Giant and four points clear of Cuban Girl and Oh So Perfect, who represent the chief dangers in a competitive enough field. Giant's proximity to our selection on ratings makes him the one to beat, while Cuban Girl and Oh So Perfect add further depth to the opposition and cannot be dismissed lightly. That said, Gemini Star's edge at the head of the ratings is genuine and, on a sound surface that should suit, she is taken to make that superiority count. Gemini Star is our selection.
