Anthropologist gets the nod at Southwell, rated 78 and just a pound behind the top-rated Alcaraz, but we prefer him thanks to a progressive profile that suggests there is more to come in this 14-runner Class 5 over a mile. Alcaraz is the obvious danger on 79, and Exotic Baby, on the same figure as our pick, is just as hard to dismiss, while Calyxoh on 75 could also be involved at the business end. The margins between them are narrow, so improvement is likely to decide it, and Anthropologist looks the one still on the upgrade. Anthropologist is our selection.
