Plainridge Racecourse Race 6 - Race 6 - 1609m

WHISKEY VENOM (2) is in good form with top-five finishes at his last six starts, most recently recording a third over 1609m at this track. No excuses from this advantageous draw. His recent form is good enough to win a race of this calibre. BEANTOWN DRAGON (7) finished second last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 12 metres. Best recent result was a win at this track three starts ago. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position. Meets a comparable field and he is capable of another bold performance. MANASOTA (4) is looming as a real threat after a better effort last start, finishing second at this track over 1609m. D A LETS DANCE (6) is worth some thought after his last-start fifth over 1609m at Hiawatha on July 25.

Fair run when beaten by 3 m finishing third behind Luca Bay at this track over 1609m in a NW2PMLT on August 6 at $22.70. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing second behind Lyons Blewbyu at this track over 1609m in a NW2PMLT on August 13 at $8.30. Rates highly. Big chance.

Freshened-up since the last run 33 days ago. Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 2.75 m fifth behind Yourastrangeanimal at Hiawatha over 1609m 3yo C last start. Before that was beaten 2.25 metres seventh at Mohawk Park in 3yo CG on July 11. Racing well and not without merit.

4th (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, beaten 22 m by Tahunanui (1:52.40) in NW2PMLT on August 20 at $14.30. Before that 5th (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, beaten 17 m by Lyons Blewbyu (1:53.40) in NW2PMLT on August 13 at $16.70. Might find this too tough.
