Plainridge Racecourse Race 7 - Race 7 - 1609M
WHO'S EYES BLUES (2) made a nice return at his latest appearance two weeks ago, finishing 5 metres away in third over 1609m at Meadowlands. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Finds a suitable assignment and will take plenty of beating once more. MAX THE MIGHTY (3) has been a bit hot and cold and that continued last start when he finished second, beaten 9 metres, in a nice return to form at Miami Valley Raceway over 1609m. Has the benefit of a good draw. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he has the ability to mix it with them. NEBBIOLO (5) is in the mix at his first run since finishing fourth over 1609m at Meadowlands six months ago. WATER SLIDE (6) must be considered after he finished third over 1609m at Miami Valley Raceway two weeks ago.

Comes here second-up; wasn't that impressive when he returned to racing finishing 6th (Fr1) over 1609m at Meadowlands beaten 7 m by Magic Punk (1:53.10) in DEXTERCUP-G3 on May 2 at $45.60. Nice draw and has raced well previously when second-up. Great chance to atone.

Having his second run back from a spell. Good run when 3rd (Fr2) over 1609m at Meadowlands, beaten 5 m by Magic Punk (1:53.10) in DEXTERCUP-G3 on May 2 at $8.40. Will improve with that run under the belt. Strong claims.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing fourth behind Rose Run Banker at Miami Valley Raceway over 1609m in a HACKETT on April 23 at $30.30. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing second behind Tom Largo at Miami Valley Raceway over 1609m in a OHSS 3C on May 2 at $11.60. Has the ability to take this out.

Three-year-old colt who is racing well. Good first up, won by 1.5 m (Fr6) at Meadowlands (1:55.00) beating Sevenato in 3YOC NW2 on May 8 at $4.40. Solid top-three chance.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing fifth behind Rose Run Banker at Miami Valley Raceway over 1609m in a HACKETT on April 23 at $29.90. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing third behind Rose Run Banker at Miami Valley Raceway over 1609m in a OHSS 3C on May 2 at $7.60. Can build on that fine effort last start.

Last start 7th (Fr3) over 1609m at Miami Valley Raceway, well beaten by Tom Largo (1:54.40) in OHSS 3C on May 2 at $9.70. Two runs back 3rd (Fr3) over 1609m at Miami Valley Raceway beaten 6 m by Rose Run Banker (1:53.40) in HACKETT on April 23 at $16.40. This appears outside his grasp.
