Plainridge Racecourse Race 3 - Race 3 - 1609m

MONTANA (2) finished fourth last start, beaten 13 metres at this track over 1609m. Talented and has plenty of upside. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Meets a comparable field so he is capable of getting the job done. BEACH LEGACY (8) finished fourth last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 6 metres, after a good win at this track the run prior. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Tackles a similar assignment and he can give this a real shake. MAGIC MONARCH (6) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish third at this track over 1609m. Genuine threat. BE READY TO ROCK (3) 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. Big run expected.
