Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Ma Fille de Reve

Ma Fille de Reve sits joint-third in the ratings, five points behind Dream On Kent and a point adrift of Sunrise At Dawn, but her progressive profile gives reason to believe she is still on the upgrade and capable of outrunning those bare numbers in a wide-open Class 6 sprint at Thirsk. Dream On Kent holds the standout rating in the field and must be respected as the chief danger, with Sunrise At Dawn and Baila Morena also possessing the ability to make their presence felt over six furlongs on good ground. Confidence is modest in a competitive sixteen-runner affair, but the upward trajectory of our selection makes her the most interesting proposition. Ma Fille de Reve is the pick.
