Plainridge Racecourse Race 1

1609m

Prize Money: $17,118

QUENTIN QUARANTINO (3) has been racing well of late. Finished third at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 2.25 metres. Has the benefit of a good draw. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. P A PIPER (4) ran sixth last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 21 metres. Expected to run well. HESPOISEDTOPOUNCE A (6) was responsible for a better effort last time out when runner-up over 1609m at this track. Should run a big race. NO GUTS NO GLORY (7) is worth some thought after his last-start fourth over 1609m at this track on July 20.

Last start 4th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track, beaten 6 m by Favorable Draw (1:52.10) in NW3000CD on July 30 at $37.30. Before that, a good run when 2nd (Fr5) over 1609m at this track, beaten 3 m by Sweet Street Lou (1:51.20) in NW3000CD on July 23 at $3.60. Doing enough to suggest he can figure in the finish.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Sweet Street Lou at this track over 1609m in a NW3000CD on July 23 at $8.40. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing third behind Favorable Draw at this track over 1609m in a NW3000CD on July 30 at $9.10. Plenty to like about his prospects.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Vintage Cheddar at this track over 1609m in a NW7500CD on July 19 at $25.80. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second behind Favorable Draw at this track over 1609m in a NW3000CD on July 30 at $5.50. Strong winning hope.
