Plainridge Racecourse Race 7

1609m

Prize Money: $36,284

SOHO SPECTRE A (5) had to dig deep to salute last start over 1609m at this track, getting home by just 0.9 metres. Meets a comparable field so he is capable of getting the job done again. BINGE ON YANKEE (6) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 6 metres from the winner in third over 1609m at this track. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. HUNTING ZONE (4) is the next best after finishing third over 1609m at Tioga Downs last time out. MYDADSAID A (2) is worth some thought after his last-start fourth over 1609m at this track on June 25.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 2.25 m third behind Livonjaxandqueens at Tioga Downs over 1609m OPEN last start. Before that was beaten 4 metres third at Pocono Downs in NW12500L5 on June 20. Racing well and worth each-way consideration.

Fair performance when beaten by 6 m finishing second behind Alex Having Fun at this track over 1609m in a OPEN on June 4 at $1.30. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Two Fold Cold at this track over 1609m in a OPEN HC on June 11 at $2.40. Rates highly. Big chance.
