Plainridge Racecourse Race 7 - Race 7 - 1609M

CLEARWATER COURAGE (1) finished seventh last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 12 metres, after a modest seventh at this track the run prior. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Meets a similar quality field and is good enough to win a race of this calibre. CELTIC TIGER (3) did a good job to finish second two starts ago then registered a comfortable win last time out, scoring by 6 metres over 1609m at this track. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Tackles a similar assignment and he can go right on with the job. DANCE MONKEY (6) is better than his last-start seventh over 1609m at this track. LONGVIEW LAD N (5) is worth some thought after his last-start fifth over 1609m at this track on May 11.
