Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Come On Over
Come On Over arrives here with a progressive profile that makes her more appealing than the pair rated a pound above her, and any fitness edge she holds over Romeo Montague and Acclaimed Freedom could prove decisive on Lingfield's unforgiving Polytrack surface over six furlongs. Romeo Montague and Acclaimed Freedom are the obvious dangers given they sit narrowly ahead on ratings, while Go Lockers Go merits a mention for those seeking an each-way interest further down the field. The confidence is measured rather than absolute, but the combination of improvement and readiness tips the scales in favour of Come On Over.
