Plainridge Racecourse Race 4

1609m

Prize Money: $21,398

SKILLFUL TACTICS (4) gave his opponents no chance last start when he cruised to a 11 metres victory over 1609m at this track. Primary contender in a similar race. CONSERVATIVE PLAN (5) finished fourth last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 19 metres, after a good win at this track the run prior. His last run should be overlooked. Good enough to put himself back in the winners' stall. PEACE FIELD (7) has been thereabouts of late and is a great chance to break through. Good effort last time out when she finished second at this track over 1609m. KINGMAKER (2) is worth some thought despite his last-start seventh over 1609m at this track on August 4.

Three-year-old gelding by Walner out of Sweet Shirley Mae on debut. Finished third in a trial on August 11 at Plainridge Park over 1609m. A bit of a push for him in early discussions is worth noting.

Didn't do much at the last run, 6th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track, beaten 55 m by Jeffrey Neil (1:55.30) in NW3PMLT on August 11 at $87.20. Before that 5th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 25 m by Conservative Plan (1:56.20) in NW1PMLT on August 4 at $11.20. Needs to improve.

Last start was well beaten into fourth behind Skillful Tactics at this track over 1609m in a NW2PMLT on August 18 at $3.50. Performed better the start before where he won by 1.5 m (Fr8) at this track (1:56.20) beating Mister Nice Capt'n in NW1PMLT on August 4 at $3.50. This race appears well within his grasp.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Geologic at this track over 1609m in a NW6PMLT on August 4 at $62.80. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Jeffrey Neil at this track over 1609m in a NW3PMLT on August 11 at $3.90. Sure to play a significant role.

Didn't do much at the last run, 5th (Fr3) over 1609m at Saratoga, beaten 15 m by Orlando Hanover (1:58.30) in NW2PMCD on August 17 at $13.31. Before that 4th (Fr8) over 1609m at Saratoga beaten 15 m by Bluebird Hill (1:59.20) in NW2PMCD on August 3 at $114.90. Looks outclassed.
