Plainridge Racecourse Race 3

1609m

Stake: $26,561

LYONS BLEWBYU (4) recorded a strong performance last start when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1609m at this track. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. CAPTAIN ROCKNROLL (2) was in the money at Cumberland Raceway two runs ago before having his colours lowered at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 23 metres. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Primary contender if he is at his best. THE UNIT (3) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when fourth at this track over 1609m. Must be included. SUM LAD (6) is in the mix after turning in a better effort last start to finish third at this track over 1609m.

Finding it hard to put a couple of good runs together. Last start was 3rd (Fr7) over 1609m at this track, beaten 9 m by Caviart Tucker (1:55.40) in MAIDEN CD on July 9 at $11.90. Before that beaten 25 metres, fifth at this track over 1609m NW1PMLT on June 26. Shouldn't trouble the top few.

Last start was well beaten into sixth behind Flying Major Art at this track over 1609m in a NW2PMLT on May 28 at $22.70. Raced better the start before that with a game effort when 3rd (Fr6) over 1609m at Cumberland Raceway, beaten 30 m by Declan Seelster (1:58.20) in NW1250L4 on May 15 at $8.50. Capable of testing this line-up.

Fair run when beaten by 4 m finishing second behind Sounds So Sweet at this track over 1609m in a NW4PMLT on June 25 at $17. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Dead Mans Chain at this track over 1609m in a NW2PMLT on July 9 at $3.20. Definite winning chance.

Improved last start with a game effort when 3rd (Fr6) over 1609m at this track, beaten 5 m by Prince Malicious (1:54.20) in W2-9PMCD on July 9 at $102.10. Can build on that recent effort.
