Plainridge Racecourse Race 7 - Race 7 - 1609M
ALEX HAVING FUN (4) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 1609m at Cumberland Raceway, finishing second and just a neck from the winner. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. SLING SHOCK (3) finished fifth last start over 1609m at Saratoga, beaten 6 metres, after a good win at Saratoga the run prior. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Meets a comparable field and he can figure in the finish. GREY HORIZON (1) is worth thought after finishing sixth first-up over 1609m at Saratoga last time out. SPORTY M THREE (5) could only finish seventh over 1609m at Saratoga most recently. Open to improvement and is in the mix.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr2) over 1609m at Saratoga, beaten 6 m by Hunter Hill (1:53.30) in WO/OPENHCP on April 4 at $20.30. Showed ability the outing before when he won by a 0.9 m (Fr2) at Saratoga (1:54.00) beating In Excess in N10000L5CD on March 21 at $3.85. Genuine contender in this suitable contest.
