Pundit pick: Venetian Star

Venetian Star merits serious consideration here despite sitting two pounds behind the jointly top-rated Blues Emperor and Thru And Thru, as a progressive profile suggests there is more to come and the upward curve can bridge that narrow gap on good ground at Fairyhouse over seven furlongs. Blues Emperor and Thru And Thru share the top rating and will be the primary dangers, while Loingseoir is not without claims either in a wide-open field of twenty-one. The selection is Venetian Star.
