Plainridge Racecourse Race 7 - Race 7 - 1609m
COURAGEOUS WARRIOR (3) has been racing well of late. Finished third at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 6 metres. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Big chance based on those recent efforts. CHARLIES WISH (4) has recorded two wins and two minor placings from the past five starts. Added to his reputation at his latest appearance when he got the job done by 4.5 metres over 1609m at this track. Meets a comparable field so he is capable of getting the job done again. SOUTHPAW (7) is looming as a real threat after a better effort last start, finishing second at this track over 1609m. JERICHO JOHNNY (5) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 7 metres at Vernon Downs over 1609m.

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start posted a big 4.5 m win as favourite (Fr4) at this track (1:52.20) beating Be Ready To Rock in NW4PMLT on June 11 at $1.60. This assignment might bring him back to earth.

Solid performance when a close second behind Full Metal Jacket at this track over 1609m in a W4-7PMLT on June 4 at $2. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Charlies Wish at this track over 1609m in a W4-7PMLT on June 11 at $4.20. Going along well. Top prospects.

Five-year-old gelding is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track and Philadelphia both over 1609m. Last start won by 4.5 m (Fr3) at this track (1:49.30) beating Southpaw in W4-7PMLT on June 11 at $4.40. Racing in great heart and another win is on the cards.

Fair performance when beaten by 5 m finishing fourth behind Full Metal Jacket at this track over 1609m in a W4-7PMLT on June 4 at $7.60. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second behind Charlies Wish at this track over 1609m in a W4-7PMLT on June 11 at $3.10. Well placed, should prove hard to beat.
