Maiden / Class E

5 1 10 2 8

A competitive race for the first leg of the Pick 6. TOTAL ERUPTION showed improvement last time out and could go one place better. PLAYMAKER does not seem an easy ride so it is interesting that blinkers are now carded to be worn. PICK A POMODORO tends to lack a strong finish but might play a minor role. SATELLITE WORLD showed improvement last time out and has claims. STRAIGHT RED had excuses for his poor last run and could be a lively danger. CODEWORD is also capable of improvement on his local debut.
