Plainridge Racecourse Race 3

1609M

Prize Money: $22,936

MCSTONED AGAIN (7) won at this track two runs ago before finishing fourth at his latest appearance over 1609m at Cumberland Raceway, beaten 35 metres. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. Meets some better types this time but he has the ability to test this field. TOM'S CHALLENGER (1) finished sixth last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 17 metres, after a modest sixth at this track the run prior. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Finds a nice race and can bounce back to form. ALAMO MISSION (8) is the next elect off a last-start win by 4.5 metres at this track over 1609m. GRAFENBERG (3) is worth some thought based on his second over 1609m at this track two runs ago.
