Plainridge Racecourse Race 1

1609m

Stake: $23,019

LUCA BAY (4) is in good form with top-five finishes at his last five starts, most recently recording a third over 1609m at this track. Primary contender in a similar race. MANASOTA (3) finished fifth last start, beaten 13 metres at this track over 1609m. Talented and has plenty of upside. Expecting a very good run. FOX VALLEY GRIT (5) disappointed last time when eighth over 1609m at this track. Can turn things around. CD FLETCH (6) is worth some thought despite his last-start seventh over 1609m at this track on July 9.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr4) over 1609m at this track, beaten 13 m by Dead Mans Chain (1:52.30) in NW2PMLT on July 9 at $44.20. Showed ability the run before when he posted a big 5 m win (Fr1) at this track (1:56.20) beating Colnago in MAIDEN on June 19 at $2.30. Capable of testing this line-up.

Solid run when a close second behind The Unit at this track over 1609m in a NW1PMLT on June 26 at $1.60. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing third behind Dead Mans Chain at this track over 1609m in a NW2PMLT on July 9 at $7.20. Has the ability to take this out.
