Plainridge Racecourse Race 7 - Race 7 - 1609M

MONTANA GB (6) has been excellent of late and he made it two in a row when successful at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, getting home by 0.9 metres. Meets a comparable field and he can figure in the finish. WILD BILL WYATT (3) produced a strong performance last start when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1609m at this track. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Meets a comparable field and he can take care of this line-up. DIGGING FOR GOLD (2) is usually thereabouts and looks a strong winning hope this time following a last-start fourth at this track. Rarely lets backers down. SOUTHPAW (5) has been about the mark of late and must be respected, the latest offering a sound third at this track over 1609m.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Wild Bill Wyatt at this track over 1609m in a W4-7PMLT on April 28 at $7. Then a handy effort when a close third behind Montana at this track over 1609m in a W4-7PMLT on May 7 at $12.80. Sure to play a significant role.

Five-year-old gelding is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track both over 1609m. Last start won by a 0.9 m (Fr5) at this track (1:51.10) beating Wild Bill Wyatt in W4-7PMLT on May 7 at $3.80. No reason he cannot chalk-up the hat-trick.
