Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Golden Mind
Golden Mind heads this competitive six-furlong handicap at Ascot on a rating narrowly ahead of Ferrous, with Havana Hurricane and Fast Track Harry also possessing the form to make their presence felt across a wide-open field of fifteen on good ground. The low confidence here reflects just how tightly bunched the principals are, and Ferrous in particular, only a couple of pounds adrift, could easily overturn the small advantage our selection holds. Golden Mind is nonetheless the pick of the ratings and sets the standard for the rest to aim at. Golden Mind is the selection.
