Plainridge Racecourse Race 7

1609m

Prize Money: $28,531

TENZING BROMAC N (3) finished fourth last start over 1609m at this track but was very competitive, beaten only 2.25 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Big chance if he is at his best. KILL A DRAGON (4) won at this track two runs ago but couldn't repeat the dose at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 8 metres. Won't find this any harder and he can bounce back to winning form. VIRTUAL HORIZON (5) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 0.9 metres at this track over 1609m. VINTAGE CHEDDAR N (2) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound third at this track over 1609m.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr4) over 1609m at this track beaten 8 m by Wild Bill Wyatt (1:49.40) in NW12500CD on August 10 at $2.90. Showed ability the run before when he won by a 0.8 m (Fr6) at this track (1:51.10) beating Alex Having Fun in NW10000CD on August 3 at $17.70. Looks the testing material.
