Goulding: How I'd play Woodbine for Saturday, Oct. 12, 2019

The late pick four is the play because it has a guaranteed pool of $200,000. The sequence begins in race 9 with the Grade 1 Canadian International. The condition of the outer turf course is yielding. The sun is out, though, so that could change.

Race 6: Power Up Paynter (#8)
Paynter is a decent turf influence and this colt has been intended for grass from the start.
Ran better than it seems in his debut, rushing up while racing in the bridle before abruptly tiring.
DRF Formulator Fact: Over the past five years, Linda Rice is 7 for 27 (26%, $2.64 ROI) with second- time starting maidens going from dirt to turf.
