Plainridge Racecourse Race 7

1609m

Prize Money: $18,131

WATERFRONT (4) showed plenty of fight to salute last time out over 1609m at this track, getting home by just 0.6 metres. Tackles a similar assignment and he can salute once again. HEAD HONCHO (5) was responsible for a far better performance last time out when runner-up over 1609m at this track, beaten 0.6 metres. Won't find this any harder and he can go right on with the job. MEADOWBROOK FLASH (7) has been thereabouts of late and is a great chance to break through. Good effort last time out when he finished second at this track over 1609m. BANG AH UEY (6) is worth some thought after his last-start fourth over 1609m at this track on June 8.

Brings the right form to the table. Won by a 0.8 m (Fr3) at this track (1:53.10) beating Dance Monkey in TRK<77 on June 8 at $3.60. Two runs back 4th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track, beaten 6 m by Bag Pipe Major (1:53.00) on June 1 at $8.70. Finds a few better. Can't recommend.

Two back was well beaten into eighth behind Hey Jude Hanover at this track over 1609m on June 1 at $24.20. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Waterfront at this track over 1609m on June 8 at $2.60. Nice effort last time. Big chance.
