Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Mae Amor
Mae Amor holds a clear edge at the head of the ratings in this ten-runner Class 5 sprint at Hamilton, sitting five pounds clear of Lily Pearl and six ahead of Diamont Katie, and soft ground over six furlongs should suit her well. Lily Pearl and Diamont Katie represent the most credible threats and will need to find improvement to bridge that gap, while Kilfrush Desert merits respect as a further danger lurking just below them. The confidence here is high, and Mae Amor is the selection.
