Plainridge Racecourse Race 5

1609m

Prize Money: $15,692

D A WICKED SHINE (2) finished second two starts back at this track then could not have been more impressive last start to win by 15 metres over 1609m at this track. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Finds a tougher race but another win is not out of the question. COLT BENNETT (7) gave his opponents no chance last start when he cruised to a 11 metres victory over 1609m at this track. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Leading hope in a similar race. NOTED A (4) is on the radar after his last-start fifth over 1609m at this track a week ago. TWIN B JAYS (1) is the best of the rest after finishing third over 1609m at this track last time out.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Hollywood Skeeter at this track over 1609m on August 3 at $4.10. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Dance Monkey at this track over 1609m on August 10 at $5. Well placed to go a couple better.

Recent efforts have been impressive. Last start posted a big 15 m win as favourite (Fr6) at this track (1:52.20) beating Domi in TRK<76 on August 24 at $1.40. No surprise if he made it two in a row.

Didn't do much at the last run, 5th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track beaten 12 m by No Guts No Glory (1:51.20) in NW3000CD on August 31 at $14. Before that 8th (Fr4) over 1609m at this track, beaten 20 m by Swifty Run (1:51.40) on August 24 at $29.20. Would rather see in something easier.
