Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Phaedra

Phaedra arrives at Wolverhampton on a progressive profile that gives confidence she can defy a two-pound deficit to the joint top-rated pair, and over twelve furlongs on the all-weather surface there is every reason to believe she has more improvement to offer. Dancingondiamonds and Bulldog Spirit share the highest figures in the field and must be respected as the primary dangers, while Luan is not without a chance at a lower rating. Phaedra is the selection.
