Laing’s Pedro may be the possible Pick 6 banker. He moved up well in his last start over this distance on the turf but was outrun late by Africa’s Rock.
It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked.
The 5yo gelding meets the right field this afternoon and he can notch up his fifth-career victory.
Gunsmoke takes his place in Race 4. He has very good consistent form lines to his credit.
He ran on strongly when second over 1400m on this course last time.
He has won once and finished second once from three starts over this distance.
The 5yo gelding is having his peak run today and will be mowing down the frontrunners.
