Plainridge Racecourse Race 6 - Race 6 - 1609m
LUCA BAY (6) scored at this track two runs ago before having his colours lowered when third at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 3 metres. Meets a comparable field and he is capable of another bold performance. THE UNIT (5) ran fifth last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 16 metres. Talented and has plenty of upside. Expect him to pose a serious challenge. HERO OF THE HUDSON (1) has been thereabouts of late and is a great chance to break through. Good effort last time out when he finished fourth at this track over 1609m. CAVIART TUCKER (4) could only finish eighth over 1609m at this track most recently. Open to improvement and is in the mix.

Last start 4th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track, beaten 9 m by Manasota (1:56.20) in MAIDEN on June 19 at $2. Before that, a game 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. Plenty to like about his prospects.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Dead Mans Chain at this track over 1609m in a MAIDEN on June 12 at $57.80. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing third behind Manasota at this track over 1609m in a MAIDEN on June 19 at $53.80. Nice effort last time. Leading contender.

Last start solid effort when 3rd (Fr4) over 1609m at this track beaten 3 m by Smile Happy (1:52.00) in NW2PMLT on June 11 at $1.60. Two runs back posted a big 12 m win as favourite (Fr3) at this track (1:53.20) beating Its Noras Time in NW1PMLT on June 5 at $1.70. Racing in great heart and is a leading contender.

Has been racing well this preparation and showed plenty of improvement following June 3 run. Just managed to hang on and win won by a 0.8 m (Fr4) at Hoosier Park (1:54.40) beating Illini Deceptive in CLCDNW1 on June 10 at $2.30. This race will be harder than that win. Has the job ahead this time.
