Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Pequenita
Pequenita heads this six-runner Leicester Class 5 over a mile on good-to-firm ground narrowly ahead of Agitator on our ratings, and her form entitles her to go well here against a modest field. Agitator is the most obvious threat and will need to be watched, while Q T Boy and Parading, level on ratings some way below, could each play a role if Pequenita is below her best. On balance, Pequenita looks the most credentialled runner in the field and is selected to justify that standing. The pick is Pequenita.
