Plainridge Racecourse Race 7 - Race 7 - 1609M

SWEET JEFF (4) drew wide last start and was safely held, beaten 55 metres into sixth at this track over 1609m. Meets a similar quality field and is good enough to win a race of this calibre. NEGOTIATOR (1) turned in an out-of-character effort last start when 22 metres away in sixth over 1609m at this track. Form prior to that had been solid. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Primary contender if anywhere near his best. HESPOISEDTOPOUNCE A (5) is on the radar after his last-start fifth over 1609m at this track a week-and-a-half ago. P A PIPER (6) is in the mix after turning in a better effort last start to finish third at this track over 1609m.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 6th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track, beaten 55 m by Lifes A Puzzle (1:50.20) in NW7500CD on May 14 at $8.60. The start before 5th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track beaten 19 m by Sport Secret (1:52.10) in NW7500CD on May 7 at $21.10. Good enough to turn things around.
