Plainridge Racecourse Race 7 - Race 7 - 1609M
LIFES A PUZZLE (4) scored at this track two runs ago before having his colours lowered when second at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 0.6 metres. Meets a comparable field and he can find winning ways. FOUREVER BOY (3) drew a wide gate last start and was never a genuine threat, beaten 23 metres into fifth at this track over 1609m. Won't find this any harder and from this more favourable draw he can feature in the finish. ALEX HAVING FUN (2) didn't do a bad job when sixth over 1609m at this track last time out. PIRATE HANOVER (1) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.

Has been racing well this preparation and showed plenty of improvement following June 22 run. Just managed to hang on and win won by a neck (Fr1) at this track (1:51.20) beating General Montana in NW12500CD on July 3 at $5.50. This race will be harder than that win.
