Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Navajo Point
With six runners sharing the top rating in a wide-open 19-runner field on soft ground at Gowran Park over a mile, fitness and recent evidence become the decisive factors, and Navajo Point holds a meaningful edge on both counts, the clock backing up the form in a way that lifts this runner above those rated identically on paper. Lady Kelly, Volendam and Mags are the chief dangers in what is a genuinely competitive puzzle, and any of them could take this on the day. With confidence tempered by the compressed nature of the ratings, Navajo Point is nonetheless the selection on fitness and clocked form.
