Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Gemini Star
Gemini Star heads this fourteen-runner Class 6 contest at Newcastle on the All-Weather on ratings, sitting narrowly ahead of Get Up Everybody and a more meaningful step clear of Donald and Mart, and on that basis the case for her holding her own at the top of the weights is straightforward enough. Get Up Everybody is the most obvious threat and cannot be dismissed, while Donald and Mart are closely matched on similar figures and will need to improve to get involved. With a medium degree of confidence, Gemini Star is the selection.
