Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Lady Mariko
Lady Mariko is our selection at Southwell, and her progressive profile is the reason we prefer her to Brisk Symphony, who is only two pounds better on our figures. At 80 she sits right alongside the top-rated runner, and an improving filly is the type to overturn that slim gap in a competitive Class 5 over seven furlongs. Brisk Symphony is the obvious danger on 82, with Ormolulu and Korbut also in the mix on 78 and 77 in a bunched field of eleven. Lady Mariko looks the one to be on.
