Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Lady Kodiac
Lady Kodiac heads this Newcastle all-weather sprint on a rating narrowly ahead of the chasing pack, and she rates the pick of these over the six furlongs on a standard surface. Persian Spirit and Anaisa represent the most credible threats, with the former sitting just six pounds behind on ratings and capable of closing that gap if Lady Kodiac is below her best. Ormolulu also warrants respect at the bottom of the leading quartet, though she has the most to find on ratings of that group. On balance, Lady Kodiac is selected to come out on top.
