Plainridge Racecourse Race 5

1609m

Prize Money: $31,930

BORNINLOCKDOWN (5) was struggling to make his mark before the latest appearance when he scored by 1.5 metres over 1609m at this track. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is up to the challenge. WILD BILL WYATT (3) ran fourth last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 19 metres. Expected to run well. PRICE CONTROL (6) has a strong record here so must be a chance on the back of a good win over 1609m at this track last time. LIFES A PUZZLE (4) is worth some thought based on his third over 1609m at this track two runs ago.
