Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Exotic Baby
Exotic Baby looks the one to beat in this Class 6 eight-furlong event on the Newcastle all-weather, with our rating of 79 putting him nine pounds clear of his nearest rival, a meaningful gap in a modest field of ten. Dacres Cross (70) is the chief danger, while Alkumatic Jo Jo and Maynora, both on 69, are best placed to pick up the pieces if the selection fails to show his best. Exotic Baby has the clearest edge on our figures and is the choice.
