Plainridge Racecourse Race 8

1609M

Prize Money: $25,140

PONDA ROCKY (3) recorded a strong performance last start when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1609m at this track. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Taking on a better line-up this time but he good enough to play a major role. BILL BAUER (5) scored at this track two runs ago before having his colours lowered when third at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 12 metres. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is capable of taking this out. SUNBURNT SILVERADO (6) is in the mix following a sixth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. WENDELL BLUE CHIP (7) must be respected after scoring last start by 1.5 metres at this track over 1609m.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing eighth behind Sunburnt Silverado at this track over 1609m in a NW7500CD on May 11 at $3. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Bravado at this track over 1609m in a NW7500CD on May 19 at $2.30. Looks ready to win again.

Has won at his last two outings. Last start posted a big 8 m win (Fr3) at this track (1:56.00) beating Not Uncertain in NW5000CD on May 19 at $31.60. Despite winning form this is likely to prove too tough.

Last start game effort when 3rd (Fr3) over 1609m at this track beaten 12 m by Bravado (1:53.40) in NW7500CD on May 19 at $4.60. Two runs back posted a big 11 m win (Fr4) at this track (1:55.10) beating Grateful in NW5000CD on May 12 at $2.50. Definite winning chance.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Fr4) over 1609m at this track beaten 9 m by Memorynimagination (1:53.30) in OPEN on May 19 at $30. Showed ability the run before when he won by 3 m (Fr1) at this track (1:55.10) beating Dryden Hanover in NW7500CD on May 11 at $11.80. Going okay so keep him safe.
