Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Protest Rally

Protest Rally shares the joint-highest rating in this nine-runner Class 6 sprint at Southwell's Fibresand track, level with Torfrida at the head of the assessments, and either of those two makes a reasonable case for favouritism on merit alone. Popular Dream and Sam's Xpress both represent genuine threats from the chasing group, so the race looks competitive despite the modest grade. With confidence tempered by the tight nature of the form and the coin-flip nature of the top two, we side narrowly with Protest Rally.
