Plainridge Racecourse Race 8 - Race 8 - 1609m

VIRTUAL HORIZON (2) ran third last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 5 metres. Has the benefit of a good draw. Finds a nice race and will be a major force. CALL ME MAVERICK (5) finished third last start, beaten 9 metres at this track over 1609m. Has ability and should be right in the finish. NEGOTIATOR (7) didn't do a bad job when fifth over 1609m at this track last time out. MAJOR BETTS (4) is next best following a run of four top-three finishes, the latest at this track a week ago.

Has been mixing his form of late, most recently 4th (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, beaten 24 m by Sporty M Three (1:51.20) in NW5000L4 on June 4 at $14.50. Before that 5th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track beaten 30 m by Hes Coming On (1:50.00) in STR ALL on May 28 at $30. Needs to find plenty of improvement to figure.

Didn't do much at the last run, 6th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track, beaten 18 m by Sling Shock (1:51.30) in NW7500L4 on June 4 at $38. Before that 4th (Fr5) over 1609m at Philadelphia, beaten 5 m by Dreamlandcappucino (1:53.10) in NW7500L5 on May 17 at $3.70. Likely to find this a bit tough.
