Plainridge Racecourse Race 8 - Race 8 - 1609m
FULL METAL JACKET (6) won two back at this track from a nice gate. Drew wide last start and was safely held, beaten 10 metres into fifth at this track over 1609m. Meets a comparable field and he is capable of a much better performance. WHATS STANLEY GOT A (4) drew a wide gate last start and was safely held, beaten 15 metres into sixth at Yonkers Raceway over 1609m. This doesn't look as hard so he is a major player. WILD BILL WYATT (2) is a great chance after a string of sound recent performances, the latest a solid third at this track over 1609m. Hard to find fault. IT'S IN THE STARS (3) must be considered after he finished runner-up over 1609m at this track a week ago.

Last start solid effort when 3rd (Fr4) over 1609m at this track, beaten 3 m by Franco Tyson (1:49.10) in NW10000L4 on June 4 at $2.30. Two runs back won by a 0.9 m (Fr3) at this track (1:50.20) beating Courageous Warrior in W4-7PMLT on May 28 at $2.40. Right in contention.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Captain Luke at Meadowlands over 1609m in a NW10500L5 on May 30 at $51.70. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Jackson Cooper at this track over 1609m in a NW7500L4 on June 11 at $5. Has the right credentials to take this out.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 6th (Fr6) over 1609m at Yonkers Raceway beaten 15 m by Sweet Beach Life (1:51.10) in NW30000L5 on June 8 at $62.31. The start before 5th (Fr2) over 1609m at Yonkers Raceway beaten 16 m by Captinhammerhead (1:51.40) in INVITATION on June 1 at $15.50. Can turn things around in this suitable contest.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track, beaten 10 m by Charlies Wish (1:49.30) in W4-7PMLT on June 11 at $12.20. Showed ability the race before when he won by a 0.9 m (Fr2) at this track (1:51.20) beating Courageous Warrior in W4-7PMLT on June 4 at $2.80. Has the ability to take this out.
