THE LEGEND PIERE STRIKER STRYDOM RODE THE PICK 6 IN JULY 1990 MR 84 HANDICAP 1400m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 18)    

Good pace from Shinto Shrine, Coming In Hot and Legendary and they'll have company. OPEN HIGHWAY (9) finished third of 12 over 1400m at Greyville All Weather last start. He drops in weight and looks a leading chance. SHINTO SHRINE (6) finished sixth of 11 over 1600m at this track last start and was then put out for a spell. He has placed previously when produced fresh-up and has each-way prospects. NYAKA NYAKA (13) has recorded back-to-back placings, the latest over 1400m at this track when finishing second of eight at long odds. Expected to be finishing in the top-three. RESSONREGARDLESS (1) disappointed last start when finishing eighth of 11 over 1600m at this track when well supported. Recorded a win and three placings in his four runs prior to that last run and on best form has to be considered.
