Plainridge Racecourse Race 7 - Race 7 - 1609m
HEY PORTER (1) scored last time out by 2.25 metres in a nice return to form at Pocono Downs over 1609m. Has the benefit of a good draw. Taking on a better field but he is capable of running another big race. SPAAAANZANO (3) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 6 metres from the winner in fifth over 1609m at this track. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. KAZIO (6) comes right into contention after scoring last start by 1.5 metres at this track over 1609m. PEPPER WOW (4) is the next elect off a last-start win by 15 metres at this track over 1609m.

Finding it hard to put a couple of good runs together. Last start was 2nd (Fr4) over 1609m at this track, beaten 1.5 m by Kazio (1:53.40) in OPEN HC on June 23 at $5.40. Before that beaten 24 metres, seventh at this track over 1609m OPEN HC on June 16. Unlikely to threaten.
