Plainridge Racecourse Race 3

1609m

Prize Money: $25,105

ALAMO MISSION (5) is a talented entire first up from a break of seven months who generally comes to hand quickly. Scored a solid win over 1609m at this track to kick off last campaign. Sure to prove tough to beat under these circumstances. DEMIMOND (4) was in the money two runs ago then went well again last time over 1609m at this track, finishing 4 metres from the winner in second. Good enough to put himself back in the winners' stall. WENDELL BLUE CHIP (3) is worth another chance after a last-start seventh over 1609m at this track two weeks ago. I'LLSTANDMYGROUND (1) is the next elect off a last-start win by 24 metres at this track over 1609m.

Solid run when beaten by 2.25 m finishing second behind Cash Out Express at this track over 1609m in a W3-6PMLT on June 2 at $4.60. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing second behind Energetic Julio at this track over 1609m in a NW6PMLT on June 16 at $7.60. Big run expected.
