Plainridge Racecourse Race 8 - Race 8 - 1609M
PATRIKTHEPIRANHA A (5) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when a neck from the winner in second over 1609m at this track. Meets a comparable field and he is a strong winning hope. JETTINGTOMALIBU (1) drew a wide gate last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 21 metres into seventh at this track over 1609m. Finds a nice race and from this nice draw can play a major role. ANVIL HANDS (4) is on the radar after his last-start sixth over 1609m at this track a week ago. SPORTY M THREE (6) is worth some thought after his last-start fourth over 1609m at this track on April 20.
