Plainridge Racecourse Race 3

1609M

Prize Money: $21,148

MANSOME (1) scored two runs back then recorded a commanding win last start, scoring by 8 metres over 1609m at this track. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Meets a comparable field and he can get the prize again. HESPOISEDTOPOUNCE (7) is in good form at present. Finished second at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 7 metres. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. Primary contender based on those recent efforts. BAG PIPE MAJOR (2) is the next elect off a last-start win by 3 metres at this track over 1609m. VARNEY (5) is the best of the rest after finishing fourth over 1609m at this track last time out.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (Fr3) over 1609m at Pocono Downs, beaten 35 m by Stone Hanover (1:50.00) in NW6400L4 on June 15 at $4.60. Showed ability the race before when he won by a neck as favourite (Fr6) at Pocono Downs (1:51.00) beating Zeus Hanover in NW4600L4 on June 4 at $1.40. Top-three finish is well within his grasp.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing fourth behind East End at this track over 1609m in a OPEN 3 on June 18 at $15.70. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing second behind Ucanttouchthis at this track over 1609m on June 24 at $1.50. Capable of taking this out.
