Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party

Pundit pick: Sondad

Sondad heads this competitive 26-runner six-furlong field at the Curragh on a rating narrowly ahead of Thunderbear, Keke and Unique Journey, who all sit two pounds behind and represent the principal threats in what looks a fiercely contested sprint. The closeness of the ratings among the leading group means this is a genuinely open affair, and any one of those three rivals could easily make the frame, though Sondad's edge at the top of the assessments gives a slim but real basis for preference. With good ground suiting a straight, fast contest and a large field ensuring pace throughout, Sondad is taken to hold on. The selection is Sondad.
