Plainridge Racecourse Race 8 - Race 8 - 1609m
KAZIO (3) recent form has been excellent. Finished third at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten by 4.5 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Big chance based on recent form. MEMORYNIMAGINATION (5) finished sixth last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 17 metres, after a strong win at this track the run prior. Won't find this any harder and he can finish a lot closer this time. RESOLVE TO WIN (6) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when fourth at this track over 1609m. Must be included. PEPPER WOW (1) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 3 metres at this track over 1609m.

Racing consistently with minor placings at his last two starts at this course. Placed last start 2nd (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, beaten 4.5 m by A New Leader (1:52.40) in OPEN HC on June 2 at $16.50. Before that 2nd (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, beaten 4.5 m by Resolve To Win (1:53.00) in OPEN HC on May 26 at $13.70. This appears outside his grasp.

Fair performance when beaten by 6 m finishing fourth behind Resolve To Win at this track over 1609m in a OPEN HC on May 26 at $2.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third behind A New Leader at this track over 1609m in a OPEN HC on June 2 at $7.20. Capable of a strong showing.

Last start 6th (Fr6) over 1609m at Yonkers Raceway, beaten 14 m by High Speed Swan (1:56.10) in NW20000L5 on May 28 at $13.89. Two runs back won by 4 m as favourite (Fr2) at Yonkers Raceway (1:57.00) beating Sea Can in NW15000L5 on May 15 at $1.33. Can't make much of a case.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track, beaten 17 m by A New Leader (1:52.40) in OPEN HC on June 2 at $3. Showed ability the run before when he won by 3 m as favourite (Fr7) at this track (1:53.30) beating Heavens Pic in OPEN on May 19 at $1.60. Strong winning prospects.

Brings the right form to the table. Posted a big 4.5 m win (Fr3) at this track (1:52.40) beating Bravado in OPEN HC on June 2 at $20.50. Two runs back 3rd (Fr3) over 1609m at this track, beaten 4 m by Memorynimagination (1:53.30) in OPEN on May 19 at $3.30. This race looks too tough.
