Plainridge Racecourse Race 1 - Race 1 - 1609m
HERO OF THE HUDSON (3) was 17 metres away in third at this track over 1609m last start at his first run back from a spell. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Meets a comparable field and he can continue the strong start to the campaign. MANASOTA (1) was in the money two runs ago then was about the mark again last time over 1609m at this track, finishing 15 metres from the winner in second. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Meets a comparable field and he can take this out. COLNAGO (5) comes right into contention after scoring last start by 30 metres at Bangor Raceway over 1609m. CURIOUS KATE (4) is a three-year-old filly by Captain Crunch from Kate Is Well Said on debut. Sure to prove very hard to beat.

Two back was well beaten into third behind Luca Bay at this track over 1609m in a NW1PMLT on June 5 at $7. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second behind Dead Mans Chain at this track over 1609m in a MAIDEN on June 12 at $21.20. Definite winning chance.

Second-up here following a spell. Solid effort when 3rd (Fr3) over 1609m at this track, beaten 17 m by Dead Mans Chain (1:52.40) in MAIDEN on June 12 at $6.20. Open to plenty of improvement and will be tough to beat.

Three-year-old filly by Captain Crunch out of Kate Is Well Said having her first start. Finished third at Plainridge Park in a trial on June 2 over 1609m. Worth keeping safe.

Last start won by 30 m as favourite (Fr3) at Bangor Raceway (1:59.20) beating Astaire in TM 58 on June 12 at $2. Must be respected.

Mixing form recently. Last start was 3rd (Fr1) over 1609m at this track, beaten 10 m by I'm A Clown (1:57.00) on June 12 at $3.40. Before that beaten 30 metres, sixth at this track over 1609m NW1PMLT on June 5. Can't make much of a case.
