Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Sable Island
Sable Island heads this eleven-runner Wolverhampton sprint on ratings, sitting narrowly ahead of Lauralynn and with a more meaningful edge over the rest of the field, and on the all-weather surface over five furlongs she has every chance to confirm that superiority. Lauralynn is the most obvious threat and will need to be respected, while Calef and Crystal Kraken are capable of making life difficult if Sable Island is not at her best, which tempers confidence slightly. The selection is Sable Island.
