Plainridge Racecourse Race 5

1609M

Prize Money: $24,745

MOCHA JAVA (1) finished fifth two starts ago then registered a comfortable victory last time out, scoring by 9 metres over 1609m at this track. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Must raise the bar but he has the ability to test this field. BALENCIAGA (2) finished sixth last start, beaten 6 metres at this track over 1609m. Capable of playing a major role so has to be respected. ROSE RUN XTRA (6) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at this track over 1609m. Genuine threat. MRMAYOR HANOVER (4) is worth another chance after a last-start eighth over 1609m at this track a week ago.

Resumed when over this distance beaten 6 m sixth behind Memorynimagination in a OPEN on April 16. Big chance if he can build on his first-up effort.

Failed to impress last start; 8th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track beaten 15 m by Memorynimagination (1:55.00) in OPEN on April 16 at $18.50. Showed ability the outing before when he posted a big 18 m win as favourite (Fr1) at Dover Downs (1:53.30) beating Greenspan in NW8001L5 on March 31 at $1.50. Wasn't at his best last time - can improve.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing third behind Hope N Glory at Saratoga over 1609m in a N10500L5CD on April 7 at $2.96. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second behind Stormont Divide at this track over 1609m in a NW10000CD on April 16 at $8.50. Racing in great heart and is a leading contender.
