Michael Freedman's Randwick stable is set to field two emerging young racehorses at Thursday's feature Gosford meeting on what is expected to be a Soft 5 track surface. Pazyryk, a three-year-old filly by Lonhro, returns after 14 weeks off and two recent trials on soft ground, following three unplaced provincial runs earlier in the year after being transferred from Godolphin. She is entered in a 2YO & 3YO Maiden handicap over 1100m with jockey Rachel King and opened at $2.80 in early betting. In the following race, Tannin, a two-year-old colt by Exceed And Excel, makes his career debut in a Maiden Plate over 1200m after winning his second trial 10 days ago at Hawkesbury with impressive sectional times. Tannin opened as the $3.60 favorite. Both horses are positioned as strong contenders in their respective races, which also feature other competitive debutants and experienced runners.
