Plainridge Racecourse Race 8

1609m

Prize Money: $34,868

CONFEDERATESTAR N (5) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 8 metres from the winner in third over 1609m at this track. Meets a similar line up and he can figure in the finish. HES COMING ON (2) did a good job to finish third two starts ago then recorded a commanding win last time out, scoring by 12 metres over 1609m at this track. Has the benefit of a good draw. Finds a tougher race but another win is on the cards. JETTINGTOMALIBU (3) is in fine form with a couple of seconds recently, the latest at this track over 1609m. Capable of turning this good form into a well-deserved win. STILL ROLLIN N (4) is in the mix after turning in a better effort last start to finish second at this track over 1609m.

Two back was well beaten into seventh behind Bitcoin Hanover at Saratoga over 1609m in a N10000L5CD on May 23 at $5.79. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second behind Tenzing Bromac at this track over 1609m in a NW10000CD on May 28 at $2.90. Looks ready to win again.
