Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Panama Black
Panama Black heads our ratings on 75, a clear four pounds better than Venetian Romance on 71, and that gives our selection a sound edge in a modest Class 6 contest over eight furlongs on good ground at Brighton. Venetian Romance is the main danger and has to be respected, while Thestral and South Kensington, both on 64, are the next most likely to make a race of it. Beyond that the field drops away sharply, with the rest rated 56 or lower, so Panama Black should go close if he runs to his level. Panama Black is the selection.
