Plainridge Racecourse Race 3 - Race 3 - 1609m

MONTANA (5) ran fourth last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 13 metres. Talented and has plenty of upside. Meeting a deeper field this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. MAGIC MONARCH (3) ran third last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 10 metres. Talented and has plenty of upside. Has ability and should be right in the finish. THE UNIT (1) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 0.8 metres at this track over 1609m. BE READY TO ROCK (4) is the best of the rest after finishing fifth over 1609m at this track last time out.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing fourth behind Beach Legacy at this track over 1609m in a NW4PMLT on June 11 at $19.60. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Dead Mans Chain at this track over 1609m in a NW4PMLT on June 18 at $5.90. Plenty to like about his prospects.
