Plainridge Racecourse Race 6

1609M

Prize Money: $17,467

VIRTUAL HORIZON (4) ran fifth last start at Saratoga over 1609m, beaten 20 metres. Won't find this any harder and he can figure in the finish. COMPENSATE ME (1) finished fourth last start, beaten 11 metres at Meadowlands over 1609m. Capable of playing a major role so has to be respected. SONNY BLACK (5) finished third last start over 1609m at this track. Generally runs very well at this circuit so can play a big role. SOLESSEO MATUCA A (7) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1609m at Meadowlands.

Didn't impress first-up beaten 20 m fifth behind Transparency at Saratoga in a NW7500L5CD on April 4. Confident of improvement on the first-up effort.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 2.25 m second behind No Better Joy at Cumberland Raceway over 1609m NW3500L4 last start. Before that was beaten 0.8 metres second again at Cumberland Raceway same class on March 29. Racing well and not without merit.

Solid run when beaten by 2.25 m finishing second behind Ante Up Hanover at Pocono Downs over 1609m in a NW1500L5 on March 24 at $2.20. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Jilliby Dynamite at Meadowlands over 1609m in a NW2500L5CD on April 4 at $12.10. This race appears well within his grasp.

Resuming after four-and-a-half months off the scene. Finished off last preparation when well beaten into fourth behind Grey Horizon at this track over 1609m in a NW5000CD on November 26 at $4.90. Previous preparation first-up won by 4 m as favourite (Fr5) at this track (1:51.30) beating Optical Illusion in WO10000LTH on April 20 2023 at $1.90. Should be right in the finish.
