Plainridge Racecourse Race 7

1609m

Prize Money: $17,417

HEY JUDE HANOVER (5) made it two wins from his last six runs six days ago, getting home by 4 metres over 1609m at this track. Meets a comparable field and he can salute once again. SEAFOOD TOGO (7) has been knocking on the door for a while then went close again last time over 1609m at Bangor Raceway, finishing second and just 4.5 metres from the winner. Must overcome a very wide draw. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. BAG PIPE MAJOR (3) is the next best after finishing runner-up over 1609m at this track last time out. SCRAPPY IDEAL (4) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound third at this track over 1609m. Something for the Multiples: CELTIC TIGER (2)

Fair run when beaten by 3 m finishing third behind Mach Seelster at this track over 1609m on June 29 at $5.40. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Kill A Dragon at this track over 1609m in a NW5000CD on July 13 at $8.50. Rates highly. Big chance.
