Plainridge Racecourse Race 6

1609m

Stake: $36,820

HEAVENS PIC (1) is in good form at present. Finished second at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 3 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Good enough to take out a race like this. IN A TINY WAY (4) put together a series of minor placings then displayed pleasing improvement last start on June 9 over 1609m at this track, getting home by 3 metres. Leading hope in a similar race. MOCHA JAVA (5) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 1609m at this track last time out. MALIBU KID (2) could only finish sixth over 1609m at this track most recently. Open to improvement and is in the mix.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 3 m second behind Big Box Hanover at this track over 1609m OPEN 2 last start. Before that was beaten 3 metres second again at this track in NW10000CD on June 2. Rates highly so expect a bold run.

Last start 2nd (Fr5) over 1609m at this track, beaten 3 m by In A Tiny Way (1:54.20) in OPEN 3 on June 9 at $13.90. Two runs back 8th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track beaten 15 m by Pepper Wow (1:53.20) in NW10000CD on June 2 at $142.80. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.
