Pit Boss is the one we want to side with in this tightly knit Newcastle seven-furlong sprint, where a progressive profile gives him the edge over a group of rivals who are separated by only a handful of pounds. He sits at 64 on our figures, just 5 lb behind the top-rated Wish This on 69, and that is a gap an improving type can close in a Class 6 contest. Wish This, Starliner (68) and Ey Up He’s A Star (67) are the main dangers, as all three are rated narrowly ahead of him, though none brings the upward trajectory that Pit Boss does. It is a competitive heat and our confidence is low, but Pit Boss is the selection.
