Plainridge Racecourse Race 7

1609M

Prize Money: $38,168

P L PASQUALE (3) made it two on the trot last start when he got the cash by 4.5 metres over 1609m at this track. Has the benefit of a good draw. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. WARRAWEE YALE (6) scored at this track two runs ago before having his colours lowered when sixth at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 7 metres. Good enough to put himself in the winners' stall. MANSOME (4) is close to a win after two successive placings, the latest a second over 1609m at this track. Great chance to break through. ANVIL HANDS (2) is the best of the rest after finishing third over 1609m at this track last time out.

Has been racing well this preparation and showed plenty of improvement following November 6 run. Just managed to hang on and win won by a 0.9 m (Fr6) at this track (1:53.30) beating Mansome in BAYSTATE on November 13 at $5.50. This race will be harder than that win.
