Plainridge Racecourse Race 7

1609m

Prize Money: $38,354

TACTICAL MONI (3) returns from a spell of eight months. Last appeared when she scored by 6 metres over 1609m at this track. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Will have plenty of admirers. KAZIO (1) was out of the money two back at this track. Turned in a better run last time out when second over 1609m at this track, beaten 2.25 metres. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Good enough to take out a race like this. SPAAAANZANO (5) must be considered after he finished third over 1609m at Saratoga two weeks ago. RESOLVE TO WIN (7) is tough to leave out on the back of two successive wins, most recently at this track a week ago.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing fourth behind Memorynimagination at this track over 1609m in a OPEN 1 HC on June 9 at $4.90. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing second behind Resolve To Win at this track over 1609m in a OPEN HC on June 16 at $3.80. Well placed, should prove hard to beat.

Resumes. Finished off last preparation recording by 6 m as favourite (Fr2) at this track (1:52.40) beating Corner Store in MA STK R2 on October 30 at $1.20. Previous preparation first-up posted a big 15 m win as favourite (Fr2) at this track (1:57.10) beating Greenhorn in MAIDEN on May 15 2025 at $1.40. Well placed, should prove hard to beat.

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start won by 2.25 m (Fr8) at this track (1:52.40) beating Kazio in OPEN HC on June 16 at $4.50. Hard to leave out on current form. Sure to give backers a sight.
