Plainridge Racecourse Race 1

1609m

Prize Money: $18,545

PLEASE BE HIM (1) produced a better effort at his latest appearance when runner-up over 1609m at Saratoga, beaten a neck. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Must raise the bar but a win is not out of the question. RUST (3) turned in an out-of-character effort most recently when 9 metres away in sixth over 1609m at Saratoga. Form prior to that had been solid. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is capable of a far better performance. BEANTOWN MIKI (7) didn't do a bad job when sixth over 1609m at this track last time out. PASTRNAK (5) has been about the mark of late and must be respected, the latest offering a sound fifth at this track over 1609m.
