Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Caragio

Caragio and Be Frank head this thirteen-runner Southwell contest on equal ratings, but it is the progressive profile of our selection that tips the balance in his favour, suggesting there may be more improvement to come at this Class 5 level over seven furlongs on the All-Weather. Be Frank represents the most immediate threat and cannot be dismissed lightly, while Mystical Storm and Forest Caper, both narrowly behind on ratings, are dangers if either finds conditions to their liking on this surface. With confidence modest, the case rests on Caragio continuing an upward trajectory, and he is the selection.
