Plainridge Racecourse Race 8

1609M

Prize Money: $114,679

VINTAGE CHEDDAR (1) produced a good effort at his latest run to get home by a narrow margin over 1609m at this track on July 3. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he good enough to play a major role. HEINIKIN BYTHEBAY (3) showed plenty of fight to salute at the most recent appearance over 1609m at this track, getting home by just 0.6 metres. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Must raise the bar but another win is not out of the question. LIFES A PUZZLE (5) scored last start over 1609m at this track. Generally runs very well at this circuit so can play a big role again. FOUREVER BOY (4) showed pleasing improvement last time out when third over 1609m at this track.
