Plainridge Racecourse Race 8

1609M

Stake: $28,899

SKYWAY MASTERPIECE (4) scored at his most recent outing by 1.5 metres in a nice return to form at this track over 1609m. Recent effort is good enough to take out a race like this. P L PASQUALE (5) made it two wins from his last three starts when he scored by 0.9 metres on July 3 over 1609m at this track. Finds a tougher race but he has the ability to test this field. CALL ME MAVERICK (2) disappointed last time when seventh over 1609m at this track. Can turn things around. JETT STAR (3) disappointed last time but is a chance based on a good second over 1609m at Tioga Downs two runs back.
