Expecting a solid pace with Evony, The Rookie and Mini Angel leading the charge. This is tricky. PICUPSTIXX (12) has turned the form around this preparation and second up led and just missed this track/distance. May take a sit today but he'll be fitter again and this is his chance to reverse a long run of outs. THE ROOKIE (5) placed but was well beaten in the same contest. Tracked the speed and won a Ballina Maiden prior and with average she can get some of the money. CIANWOOD CITY (8) also draws awkwardly but won her Maiden here well enough to give her a hope. MINI ANGEL (3) switched from a Victorian yard and needed the first-up outing. She'd win if she found her best form. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Picupstixx.
