Plainridge Racecourse Race 1 - Race 1 - 1609M

ALEX HAVING FUN (6) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 1.5 metres from the winner in third over 1609m at this track. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. ALWAYS A MIKI (3) ran fifth last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 5 metres. Has ability and should be right in the finish. GANDOLF THE BLACK (2) comes right into contention after scoring last start by 35 metres at this track over 1609m. LIFES A PUZZLE (4) is the best of the rest after finishing fifth over 1609m at this track last time out.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 1.5 m third behind Fourever Boy at this track over 1609m OPEN last start. Before that was beaten 0.8 metres second again at this track in OPEN HC on June 18. Racing well and is a winning chance.
