Plainridge Racecourse Race 7

1609m

Prize Money: $20,833

ANVIL HANDS (3) registered a strong performance last time when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1609m at this track. Has the benefit of a good draw. Meets a comparable field and he can figure in the finish. SWEET STREET LOU (6) turned in another strong performance last start when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1609m at this track. Good enough to put himself back in the winners' stall. HESPOISEDTOPOUNCE A (1) is on the radar after his last-start fourth over 1609m at this track a week ago. HEAD HONCHO (4) is the best of the rest after finishing fifth over 1609m at Tioga Downs last time out.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Courageous Warrior at this track over 1609m in a PATRIOT-F on August 31 at $8.30. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Jettingtomalibu at this track over 1609m in a STR ALL on September 7 at $2.10. Capable of taking this out.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Courageous Warrior at this track over 1609m in a PATRIOT-F on August 31 at $3.20. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing third behind Jettingtomalibu at this track over 1609m in a STR ALL on September 7 at $7.60. Should be right in the finish.
