Plainridge Racecourse Race 3

1609m

Prize Money: $15,278

ODDS ON LAUDERDALE (3) finished third two starts ago then registered an effortless victory last time out, scoring by 9 metres over 1609m at this track. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Tackles a similar assignment and he can salute once again. SOLESSEO MATUCA A (5) produced a good effort at his latest run to get home by a narrow margin over 1609m at Tioga Downs on August 29. Steps up a level but he is good enough to cope. WICHITA LINEMAN (1) has a strong record here which is significant. Finished sixth over 1609m at this track last time out. SIXFINGERFREDDIE (2) is worth some thought after his last-start fifth over 1609m at this track on September 8.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 15 m by Odds On Lauderdale (1:51.00) in 12500CL on September 8 at $25.80. Showed ability the run before when he posted a big 7 m win (Fr4) at this track (1:52.00) beating Somehacksomewhere in TRK<79 on August 31 at $11.70. Capable of a strong showing.

Nine-year-old gelding showed improvement last start. 3rd (Fr1) over 1609m at this track, beaten 11 m by Odds On Lauderdale (1:51.00) in 12500CL on September 8 at $12.60. The race before was not as impressive when well beaten into fourth behind Sundown Kid at this track over 1609m in a 12500CL on August 31 at $61. Others are preferred.
