Pundit pick: Eevee Star

Eevee Star and River Jordan share the joint-highest rating in this eleven-runner Class 6 sprint at Newcastle on the all-weather, but it is the progressive profile of our selection that tips the scales, suggesting there is more to come from a horse still moving in the right direction. River Jordan represents the most obvious threat as an equally-rated rival, while Secret Rival and Claret Time, both a few pounds behind on ratings, cannot be dismissed in a competitive heat at this level. This is a low-confidence call in a wide-open contest, but the upward trajectory makes Eevee Star the one to side with.
