THE LEGEND PIERE STRIKER STRYDOM RODE THE PICK 6 IN JULY 1990 FM 76 HANDICAP 1000m Track: GOOD Clear (Max: 21) |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Good pace from Summer Winter, Gaelic Dancer and Waitforgreenlight and they'll have company. SUMMER WINTER (1) followed up her maiden victory with a good third-place finish over 1200m on the Greyville polytrack last start. She raced from a handy position, moved up well before getting outrun late. She finished second in her only attempt over this course and distance. This is Piere Strydom's last ride before retirement and he will be looking to go out on a winning note. DEAL MAKER (5) produced a decent first run in South Africa. She would have come on from the outing and will strip much fitter. PREDATRICE (4) showed improvement when third over this distance on the Turffontein Inside course last time. If confirming her recent improvement, she should be figuring in the finish. GAELIC DANCER (7) ran fifth of 11 last time out at Greyville All Weather when well supported. Jumps form an inside draw and has top-three claims.
