Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Mare Crisium
Mare Crisium arrives narrowly behind the top-rated pair on these figures but the case for her rests on a progressive profile and a fitness edge that the ratings alone do not fully capture, making her an attractive proposition over this ten furlongs on good ground at Clonmel. John La Bear and Ella's Gold, both rated a couple of pounds clear of our selection, represent the most obvious threats alongside Zitkala Sa, who is only a pound further back and cannot be dismissed in a competitive fourteen-runner field. The selection is Mare Crisium.
