Pundit corner

Pundit pick: Vampire Slayer

Vampire Slayer heads this nine-runner Hamilton affair on soft ground over eleven furlongs, sitting narrowly ahead of Annandale and a further pound clear of Sophiesticate, though the gaps are modest enough to keep confidence measured. Annandale and Sophiesticate are the most obvious threats, with Dubai Venture also capable of making the frame if conditions suit, so Vampire Slayer will need to be at her best to hold them off. The selection's edge lies in holding the strongest profile in the field and the soft underfoot conditions appearing unlikely to inconvenience her. Vampire Slayer is the call.
