Plainridge Racecourse Race 1 - Race 1 - 1609M

BALENCIAGA (4) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 6 metres from the winner in fourth over 1609m at this track. Meets a comparable field and he can grab that well-deserved win. HEAVENS PIC (1) finished second last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 3 metres, after also filling a minor placing at the previous appearance over 1609m at this track. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Big chance if anywhere near his best. MOCHA JAVA (5) is a great chance after a string of sound recent performances, the latest a solid fifth at this track over 1609m. Hard to find fault. LAVA FIELD (3) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound third at Yonkers Raceway over 1609m.
