Plainridge Racecourse Race 4

1609M

Prize Money: $18,663

BRIAR'S DESIRE (3) was out of the money two runs back at this track then displayed pleasing improvement last start to score by 25 metres over 1609m at the same circuit. Has the benefit of a good draw. His last-start form is good enough to win a race of this calibre. STAR SPEAKER (1) added to his recent string of strong performances last time out when runner-up over 1609m at this track, beaten 14 metres. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Meets a comparable field so he is capable of continuing his fine form. BOOGY WOOGY J (4) is looming as a real threat after a better effort last start, finishing third at this track over 1609m. WAVES (6) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 19 metres at this track over 1609m.
