Plainridge Racecourse Race 7

1609M

Prize Money: $23,743

WILD BILL WYATT (6) was struggling to make his mark before the latest appearance when he scored by 3 metres over 1609m at this track. Meets a comparable field and he can make it two on the trot. MONTANA (5) got the job done in emphatic style last start to score by 17 metres at this track over 1609m, that run following a second two starts back at this track. Meets a similar line up so he can certainly make his presence felt. SOUTHPAW (3) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. JON I LOVE DAT (2) is in the mix after turning in a better effort last start to finish second at this track over 1609m.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Confederatestar at this track over 1609m in a W4-7PMLT on April 20 at $23.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing second behind Wild Bill Wyatt at this track over 1609m in a W4-7PMLT on April 28 at $1.90. This race appears well within his grasp.
