Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: My Mate Mackley

My Mate Mackley rates a pound or two below the top two on figures but is preferred here on the strength of a progressive profile that suggests there is more to come, making raw ratings a secondary consideration in this Class 6 five-furlong heat at Windsor on good ground. Cabeza De Llave and Bated Breeze head the dangers on their ratings and must be respected, while Dreambird Dolly is another who could make her presence felt in a competitive-looking twelve-runner field. The confidence is medium, and a bold show from any of those three cannot be ruled out, but the upward trajectory of our selection tips the balance. My Mate Mackley is the pick.
