Pundit pick: Come On OverDiffers from our pick

Come On Over arrives here on a progressive profile that sets her apart from rivals rated similarly on paper, and with New Image narrowly ahead on ratings, the top-rated runner's edge of four points is not insurmountable for a horse travelling in the right direction. Kats Bob and An Outlaw's Grace represent the chief dangers in a competitive 14-runner field over this six-furlong Southwell standard surface, but both are best treated as improving threats rather than certainties to outpace a horse whose upward curve makes the raw numbers somewhat flattering to the opposition. Come On Over is our selection.
