Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Dance A Jig
Dance A Jig looks the call in this six-runner Salisbury contest, with a progressive profile that we rate above the raw figures, and he is only two pounds behind the top-rated Social Symbol on our numbers. That small gap is easily bridged by a horse still on an upward curve, and the good to soft ground should pose no obvious problem. Social Symbol is the chief danger as the narrowly higher-rated runner, while A Bear Affair is a further three pounds back and Super Tuscan also needs respecting, though Napa and Through The Gate look to have more to find. Dance A Jig is our selection.
