Plainridge Racecourse Race 6

1609M

Prize Money: $76,453

VIRTUAL HORIZON (1) had to call on all reserves to score at the most recent appearance over 1609m at this track, getting home by just 0.6 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Taking on a better field but he is up to the task. WARRAWEE YALE (6) is in good form with top-five finishes at his last eight starts, most recently recording a second over 1609m at this track. Must raise the bar but a win is not out of the question. HESPOISEDTOPOUNCE (2) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 1609m at this track last time out. SWEET STREET LOU (3) could only finish seventh over 1609m at this track most recently. Open to improvement and is in the mix.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track, beaten 9 m by Virtual Horizon (1:51.20) in STR ALL on July 10 at $22.50. Showed ability the outing before when he won by 1.5 m as favourite (Fr5) at this track (1:52.00) beating General Montana in NW12500CD on June 26 at $2.40. Look for improvement on last start.

Two back was well beaten into seventh behind Ahi Sunshine at this track over 1609m in a NW12500CD on July 3 at $7.60. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third behind Virtual Horizon at this track over 1609m in a STR ALL on July 10 at $9.90. Can improve.
