GOING: G

PICK N PAY OPEN MAIDEN 1200m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 22)    

Certain to be a strong tempo with Miss Lemonade, Greenlight Express and Twentytwentyvision leading the charge. EINSTEIN (5) ran a fair race in his last start over 1000m on this course when finishing third of 13 after having placed second in his previous start. He meets the right field here and if putting his best foot forward can shed his maiden tag. TWENTYTWENTYVISION (4) resumes from a spell during which time he was gelded. He placed in two of his three starts last prep and if not in need of this run he should prove hard to roll. COSMIC RHYTHM (10) ran a decent race in his last start over 1400m, finishing fourth of 12 at this track in his first run this prep. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. He will strip a lot fitter today and is well worth an each-way ticket. TORRES (9) showed some improvement in his first run as a gelding last time out, finishing fifth of 12 at this track over 1200m. He would have come on from that run and should strip much fitter. Can improve enough on that last start effort to finish in the placings.
