Plainridge Racecourse Race 1

1609M

Stake: $22,150

FLYING MAJOR ART N (4) made a nice return at his latest appearance nine days ago, finishing 4.5 metres away in second over 1609m at Saratoga. It doesn't get any easier but he is fitter for that last hit-out and capable of making his presence felt. BEANTOWN MIKI (1) has launched his career in a promising manner with three minor placings from four runs a. Ran his typical honest race last time over 1609m at this track, finishing third and 7 metres from the winner. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Facing a tougher assignment but he is up to the task. PASTRNAK (3) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 1609m at this track last time out. MANASOTA (2) is in the mix at his first run since finishing fifth over 1609m at Rosecroft Raceway six-and-a-half months ago.

Solid performance when a close second behind Always On Par at Saratoga over 1609m in a NW1PMCDPU on May 5 at $34.76. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing third behind Fox Valley Grit at this track over 1609m in a NW1PMLT on May 14 at $5.50. Chief contender.

Resuming after a spell of six-and-a-half months. Finished off last preparation when well beaten into fifth behind Lilbitofgossip at Rosecroft Raceway over 1609m in a MPNW1PM on November 6 at $17.30. Should be right in the finish.

Last start 4th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track beaten 8 m by Fox Valley Grit (1:56.20) in NW1PMLT on May 14 at $4.70. Before that, 5th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track beaten 11 m by Lyons Blewbyu (1:54.30) in NW1PMLT on May 7 at $26.80. Doing enough to suggest he can figure in the finish.

Second-up here following a spell. Solid effort when 2nd (Fr2) over 1609m at Saratoga beaten 4.5 m by Topville Grandshow (1:57.10) in NW1PMCD on May 12 at $1.62. Strips fitter and is sure to play a significant role.
