Plainridge Racecourse Race 4

1609m

Prize Money: $12,500

STEAL MY THUNDER (4) was responsible for a far better performance last start when she scored by 6 metres over 1609m at this track. Meets a comparable field so she can add to the strong recent effort. ROSE RUN AJAY (3) has been racing well of late. Finished fourth at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 5 metres. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Primary contender based on those recent efforts. TOMMY IN THE SKY (6) is better than his last-start seventh over 1609m at this track. BETTERTHANHOPE N (1) is the best of the rest after finishing fifth over 1609m at this track last time out. Something for the Multiples: THIRD POWER (8)
