Plainridge Racecourse Race 7 - Race 7 - 1609m

PRICE CONTROL (3) resumes after finishing seventh at his latest appearance at Meadowlands on December 6. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Must raise the bar but a win is not out of the question. JUSTCALLMEBUCK (5) finished third last start, beaten 9 metres at this track over 1609m. Capable of playing a major role so has to be respected. PATRIKTHEPIRANHA A (4) disappointed last time when seventh over 1609m at this track. Can atone. SPORTY M THREE (6) is in the mix if he can recapture the form from two starts back that saw him score over 1609m at this track.

Eight-year-old gelding showed improvement last time. 3rd (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 20 m by Digging For Gold (1:50.40) in NW7500L4 on June 25 at $26.90. The run before was not as impressive when well beaten into fourth behind Mullinax at this track over 1609m in a NW5000L4 on June 18 at $7.60. Prefer to watch at this stage.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind So Rock N' Roll at this track over 1609m on June 4 at $14. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing third behind It's In The Stars at this track over 1609m in a NW10000L4 on June 25 at $62.30. Plenty to like about his prospects.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track beaten 15 m by Wild Bill Wyatt (1:50.20) in NW10000L4 on June 18 at $11.80. Showed ability the race before when he won by 14 m as favourite (Fr5) at this track (1:50.00) beating Hespoisedtopounce in TRK<83 on June 12 at $1.30. Sure to be very competitive.

Last start 2nd (Fr1) over 1609m at this track, beaten 6 m by It's In The Stars (1:50.10) in NW10000L4 on June 25 at $21.80. Two runs back won by a 0.9 m (Fr2) at this track (1:53.30) beating Jl's Rock Star in TRK<83 on June 19 at $5.50. Might find this too tough.
