Plainridge Racecourse Race 4 - Race 4 - 1609M

BALENCIAGA (1) turned in a much better run last start when runner-up over 1609m at this track, beaten 0.8 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Meets a comparable field so he can go one better this time around. MOCHA JAVA (8) has put together a fine sequence of results and kept it up last time out with a strong win at this track over 1609m. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position. His last-start form is good enough to win a race of this calibre. SATURDAY (5) is in the mix following a sixth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. ROCK MY UNIVERSE (3) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing sixth behind Memorynimagination at this track over 1609m in a OPEN on April 16 at $13.90. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Mocha Java at this track over 1609m in a NW10000CD on April 23 at $4.90. Looks ready to win again.

Seven-year-old gelding showed improvement last time. Won by a 0.9 m (Fr2) at this track (1:57.10) beating Poppy Wow in TRK<79 on April 23 at $3.70. The run before was not as impressive when well beaten into seventh behind Dryden Hanover at this track over 1609m in a NW5000CD on April 16 at $50.40. Form reads okay, but out of his depth.

The start before 8th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track, beaten 21 m by Stormont Divide (1:55.10) in NW10000CD on April 16 at $34.40. Worth another chance. Leading contender.
