Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Uncle Sam
Uncle Sam heads this nine-runner Class 6 sprint at Newcastle on the all-weather narrowly ahead of Tickets and Tomorrow Day on ratings, and his profile over this six-furlong trip gives him a workable edge in a competitive heat. Tickets and Tomorrow Day are the most pressing dangers and could easily make life uncomfortable if Uncle Sam fails to put his best foot forward, while Em Jay Kay also merits respect on a mark just three pounds below the selection. With confidence modest in what is a closely matched affair, Uncle Sam is the call, but punters should be aware the first four in the ratings are separated by precious little. Uncle Sam is our selection.
