Plainridge Racecourse Race 8

1609M

Stake: $30,365

JUSTCALLMEBUCK (5) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 1609m at this track, finishing second and just 1.5 metres from the winner. Meets a comparable field and he is a strong winning hope. FULL METAL JACKET (1) has been excellent of late. Finished second at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten by 14 metres. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Has the class to take this out. EVER HOPING A (4) comes right into contention after scoring last start by 0.8 metres at this track over 1609m. P A PIPER (7) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 1.5 metres at this track over 1609m.
