Plainridge Racecourse Race 2

1609M

Prize Money: $18,127

BILLY BADGER (5) scored at this track three runs ago. Returned to something like that form last time out when second over 1609m at this track, beaten 3 metres. Big chance if things go his way. CALL ME MAVERICK (4) won at Cumberland Raceway two runs ago before finishing third at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 3 metres. Meets a comparable field and he can make amends. ROOSTER BENNETT (3) has a strong record here which is significant. Finished sixth over 1609m at this track last time out. TWIN B JAYS (1) has been about the mark of late and must be respected, the latest offering a sound fourth at this track over 1609m.

Two back was well beaten into ninth behind Kill A Dragon at this track over 1609m on June 10 at $31.10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing second behind Over The Horizon at this track over 1609m in a NW3000CD on June 17 at $11.30. Strong winning hope.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 6th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track, beaten 13 m by Bag Pipe Major (1:53.20) in NW5000CD on June 24 at $10.10. The start before 7th (Fr4) over 1609m at this track, beaten 9 m by Mansome (1:52.40) in NW5000CD on June 17 at $3.10. Suitably placed and can make amends.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing sixth behind Anvil Hands at this track over 1609m in a NW5000CD on June 10 at $23.40. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing second behind Bag Pipe Major at this track over 1609m in a NW5000CD on June 24 at $50. Should be right in the finish.
