Plainridge Racecourse Race 4

1609m

Prize Money: $17,417

CAPTAIN CAVEMAN (4) has had two runs this prep without filling a placing. Was again unable to find the frame last start when he finished seventh over 1609m at this track, beaten 17 metres. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. NO GUTS NO GLORY (1) failed to flatter last time out when sixth, beaten 15 metres, over 1609m at this track. Form prior to that was a better guide to his ability, including a sound second over 1609m at Cumberland Raceway two starts ago. Has the benefit of a good draw. Meets a comparable field and he can turn in a much better performance. TORRID SAINT A (5) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when third at this track over 1609m. Must be included. INSTANT REPLAY (6) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 4.5 metres at Bangor Raceway over 1609m.

Last start was well beaten into sixth behind Hey Jude Hanover at this track over 1609m in a NW3000CD on July 14 at $1.70. Raced better the start before that with a good run when 2nd (Fr3) over 1609m at Cumberland Raceway, beaten a neck by Rau Ru (1:55.30) in NW1750L4 on July 4 at $1.80. Has the ability to take this out.

Didn't do much last time out, 6th (Fr7) over 1609m at Cumberland Raceway, beaten 17 m by Luckisontheway (1:57.00) in NW1750L4 on July 11 at $24. Before that 4th (Fr4) over 1609m at Cumberland Raceway beaten 21 m by Rau Ru (1:55.30) in NW1750L4 on July 4 at $11.30. A top-three finish would surprise.

Improved last start with a good run when 3rd (Fr7) over 1609m at this track beaten 6 m by Hey Jude Hanover (1:53.40) in NW3000CD on July 14 at $11.50. Plenty to like about his prospects.

Hard to fault of late. Last start posted a big 4.5 m win as favourite (Fr4) at Bangor Raceway (1:55.40) beating Seafood Togo in NW2500L4CD on July 12 at $2. Going well enough score again.

Nine-year-old gelding showed improvement last start. 2nd (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, beaten 4 m by Hey Jude Hanover (1:53.40) in NW3000CD on July 14 at $13.40. The race before was not as impressive when well beaten into fourth behind Mach Seelster at this track over 1609m on June 29 at $30.40. Hard to make a case.
