Plainridge Racecourse Race 10

1609m

Prize Money: $18,131

KILL A DRAGON (4) is racing well with eight top-five finishes in succession, the latest effort a second at this track over 1609m. His recent form is good enough to take out a race like this. ISAAC (1) finished seventh last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 12 metres, after scoring at the previous appearance over 1609m at this track. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. MAJOR BETTS (3) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when fifth at this track over 1609m. Must be included. GRACIES TOUGH GUY (6) must be considered after he finished third over 1609m at this track a week ago.

Fair performance when beaten by 4 m finishing second behind Head Honcho at this track over 1609m on June 15 at $7.20. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second behind Odds On Lauderdale at this track over 1609m on June 22 at $2. Well placed, should prove hard to beat.

Two back was well beaten into third behind Wainapedia at this track over 1609m on June 15 at $10.20. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Dance Monkey at this track over 1609m on June 22 at $2.90. This race appears well within his grasp.
