Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Brunello Breeze

Brunello Breeze heads this nine-runner Class 6 contest at Newcastle over a mile and a half on the all-weather narrowly ahead of Bouboule and Porter's Song on ratings, and that edge, combined with the stamina this trip demands, makes a compelling case for connections. Bouboule and Porter's Song will push hardest if they translate their ratings into performance, while Gemini Man should not be overlooked if stepping forward from recent runs. On balance, Brunello Breeze looks the most likely winner and is our selection.
