Plainridge Racecourse Race 3 - Race 3 - 1609m

HEINIKIN BYTHEBAY (5) ran fifth last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 13 metres. Has the ability to take this out. WATERFRONT (2) had to call on all reserves to salute last start over 1609m at this track, getting home by just 0.8 metres. Has the benefit of a good draw. Meets a comparable field so he can keep the ball rolling. SLING SHOCK (4) is worth another chance after a last-start ninth over 1609m at this track two weeks ago. LIAM'S ACE (7) is in the mix after turning in a better effort last start to finish second at Cumberland Raceway over 1609m.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 9th (Fr9) over 1609m at this track beaten 55 m by Vintage Cheddar (1:50.00) in NW7500CD on July 19 at $6.60. The run previous 8th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track, beaten 15 m by Mullinax (1:49.40) in NW10000CD on July 13 at $28.20. Happy to give him another try in this suitable contest.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track, beaten 13 m by Courageous Warrior (1:51.20) in NW5000CD on July 20 at $2.60. Showed ability the race before when he posted a big 4 m win as favourite (Fr3) at Cumberland Raceway (1:55.40) beating Call Me Maverick in NW5000L4 on July 4 at $1.30. One of the key runners.

Two back was well beaten into seventh behind Married Man at Cumberland Raceway over 1609m in a NW3500L4 on July 18 at $3.80. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second behind Forward Look at Cumberland Raceway over 1609m in a NW4000L4 on July 26 at $2.30. Progressing well. Top prospects.
