Plainridge Racecourse Race 1

1609M

Prize Money: $30,441

IKON VANG DK (1) Backing up quickly. Finished well when winning last run at Saratoga Harness and drawn well. Looks very sharp this preparation with 2 wins from as many runs. No shock to see a win. GREY CLOUDS (2) Reeled them in when winning last run at this venue. On a winning streak the last 2 runs. Expecting to settle positively. Kevin Switzer Jr rates highly aboard. Good chance of threatening these. CHINESE WHISPER N (5) Finished hard to win last start around here and have to respect the form at this distance. Unbeaten last 2 attempts. Heidi Cushing stable are in good form of late. Keep in mind. BRAVADO (4) Inched into 5th last time here. Stable have opted for a driver change with Matthew Athearn aboard. Shows good closing speed. Solid place bet prospects.

Flew home to win last run here. Can't knock the form winning 2 in a row. Should jump out and bowl along. Will be around the mark at good odds.

Odds of 7/1 and made some ground when 5th last time at the track. Matthew Athearn takes the reins today. Has very good closing speed. Looks like solid value.

Reeled them in to win last start at this track and strong form at the distance. Maintaining a perfect record the last 2 attempts. Looks a nice proposition.

Ran over the top of them when winning last run at this venue. Possesses good finishing speed. Driver Bruce Ranger adds value. Recent form of the stable is strong. Could not recommend.
