Plainridge Racecourse Race 1 - Race 1 - 1609m
MANASOTA (5) was without a win before displayed pleasing improvement last start to score by 5 metres over 1609m at this track two weeks ago. Meets some better types this time but another win is not out of the question. MICRO MANAGE (4) drew a wide gate last start and was safely held, beaten 25 metres into fifth at this track over 1609m. Must raise the bar but from a far better starting position he has the ability to test this field. CAVIART TUCKER (6) is looming as a real threat after a better effort last start, finishing third at this track over 1609m. PASTRNAK (1) is worth some thought despite his last-start seventh over 1609m at this track on June 26.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track beaten 25 m by The Unit (1:54.30) in NW1PMLT on June 26 at $23.80. Showed ability the race before when he won by a 0.8 m (Fr4) at Hoosier Park (1:54.40) beating Illini Deceptive in CLCDNW1 on June 10 at $2.30. Strong winning hope.
