Plainridge Racecourse Race 7

1609m

Stake: $29,101

MONTANA (5) made it two in succession last start when he got the cash by 5 metres over 1609m at this track. Meets a similar line up and he can figure in the finish. VANDERBILT N (7) has had two runs this prep without filling a placing. Was again unable to find the frame last start when he finished fourth over 1609m at this track, beaten 10 metres. Must overcome a very wide draw. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. MYULTIMATE SNOWY A (1) disappointed last time when seventh over 1609m at this track. Can bounce back. FEARFUL INTENT (4) is worth some thought despite his last-start sixth over 1609m at Philadelphia on July 26.

Comes here second-up after two-and-a-half weeks. Lacklustre first-up performance when 7th (Fr7) over 1609m at Pocono Downs beaten 16 m by Gentle Giant (1:50.00) in NW8500L5 on July 18 at $18.30. Rough place hope at the very best.

Five-year-old gelding is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track both over 1609m. Last start won by 5 m (Fr7) at this track (1:52.20) beating Sunsational in W2-5PMLT on July 23 at $4.60. In terrific form and is the one to beat again.

Backing up quickly since being well beaten this track over 1609m, 7 days ago before that 6th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track, beaten 40 m by Southpaw (1:49.40) in HOGAN on July 19 at $14.60. Happy to work around him.

Finished fourth at his last two starts since resuming from a spell. Last outing was beaten 10 metres behind Mydadsaid at this track over 1609m NW10000CD on July 27. Sure to play a significant role.
