Plainridge Racecourse Race 7

1609m

Prize Money: $23,710

NO GUTS NO GLORY (5) again drew a wide gate last start and failed to feature, beaten 12 metres into sixth at this track over 1609m. Primary contender if things fall his way. SOUNDS SO SWEET (3) has been racing well of late. Finished fourth at his latest appearance over 1609m at Meadowlands, beaten 6 metres. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. This is a nice drop in grade so he is in the right race to find the winners' list. DEAD MANS CHAIN (2) is one of the main contenders after winning his past two starts, the latest at this track a week ago. Difficult to ignore that sort of form. MONTANA (4) is the best of the rest after finishing runner-up over 1609m at this track last time out.

Is on a seven-day back-up and has been racing consistently with 4 consecutive minor placings. Fair effort last start 2nd (Fr4) over 1609m at this track, beaten 4.5 m by Dead Mans Chain (1:51.40) in NW4PMLT on June 18 at $6.10. May find this too tough.

Scored at his last two starts. Last start posted a big 4.5 m win as favourite (Fr2) at this track (1:51.40) beating Lyons Blewbyu in NW4PMLT on June 18 at $1.40. Hard to leave out on current form. Each-way chance.
