Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Bergamo Gold
Bergamo Gold heads our ratings on 66 in a modest ten-furlong Class 6 at Newcastle, and that is enough to make her the one to beat in a field where the bottom two look well short. The edge is slim, though, as Haltonwood matches her on 66 and Sandret is only a pound behind on 65, so this should be tight at the business end. He's Our Cracker on 62 is the next one to consider, while the pack on 57-58 look to be playing for minor honours. Bergamo Gold gets the nod as the narrowest of leaders on our figures.
