Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Velozee
Velozee heads this seven-runner sprint at the Curragh on a rating narrowly ahead of Great Barrier Reef, and her recent form over six furlongs gives solid reason to believe she can confirm that superiority on good ground today. Great Barrier Reef represents the most pressing threat and will need to be watched throughout, while Where Love Lives and Ruler's Control, rated level on 105, cannot be dismissed if either finds improvement. The confidence here is measured rather than absolute, but the evidence points to Velozee as the one most likely to see out this trip in the manner required, and she is the selection.
