Plainridge Racecourse Race 11 - Race 11 - 1609m

VINTAGE CHEDDAR N (3) finished fourth last start over 1609m at this track but gave a good account, beaten only 3 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Big chance if anywhere near his best. VIRTUAL HORIZON (5) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 1609m at this track, finishing second and just 0.8 metres from the winner. Good enough to put himself in the winners' stall. COURAGEOUS WARRIOR (7) is the next elect off a last-start win by 6 metres at this track over 1609m. MONTANA (8) is the best of the rest after finishing fifth over 1609m at this track last time out.

Four-year-old gelding is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track both over 1609m. Last start won by 6 m as favourite (Fr4) at this track (1:50.30) beating Sweet Jeff in PATRIOT-F on August 31 at $1.70. Going very well and deserves top billing.
