Plainridge Racecourse Race 2 - Race 2 - 1609M

MOCHA JAVA (1) drew wide last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 30 metres into fifth at Pocono Downs over 1609m. Big chance from this favourable draw if he gets the right breaks. HIGH GEAR NO FEAR (3) finished fourth last start, beaten 11 metres at Cumberland Raceway over 1609m. Has ability and should be right in the finish. BRAVADO (5) ended last prep with a fifth at this track over 1609m five months ago. Capable of a forward showing while fresh. RODEO HILL (2) will be rock-hard fit after four runs back from a spell, the latest effort a fourth at Saratoga two-and-a-half weeks ago.

Last start was well beaten into fifth behind Pembroke Regal at Pocono Downs over 1609m in a NW6500L5 on March 31 at $1.60. Raced better the start before that where he won by 2.25 m as favourite (Fr1) at Pocono Downs (1:59.30) beating Ira Who in NW3500L5 on March 23 at $1.50. Very hard to beat from the inside draw.
