In depth
Verdict
Pay On has risen in the weights since his last victory but is taken to win again at the expense of Samizdat and Galiana. The selection was in winning form at Kelso when breaking his maiden tag. He was beginning to become quite frustrating but was well handicapped and was able to win a sub standard race. He still looks potentially well treated off a six pound higher mark and if running up to his best he ought to give his supporters a good run for their money. Samizdat has shown ability in the past to warrant respect here. He ran some fair races last summer without getting his head in front and has not been discredited on both outings this spring so any market moves should be noted. The same can be said about Galiana who is unexposed with only four runs under his belt and showed he was no rag when fourth of fifteen at a big price at Tramore on his latest outing. His trainer does well with his raiders on the main land so any market support is again worth noting. But for the winner we return to Pay On.
