Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: West Acre
West Acre heads this thirteen-runner Class 2 sprint at Ascot on good ground rated narrowly ahead of Manatee Mehmas, with Fluorescence and Gold Star Hero also possessing the ability to make this competitive, and on a five-furlong track that rewards pace and class the selection's superior rating gives a genuine edge. The confidence level is modest, and Manatee Mehmas in particular looks capable of running West Acre close if reproducing recent form, while Fluorescence should not be underestimated. That said, the case rests on West Acre translating his rating advantage into a performance on the day, and he is taken to do enough. West Acre is our selection.
