Plainridge Racecourse Race 9

1609m

Prize Money: $22,989

TAHUNANUI (5) was once again right in the mix last start when runner-up over 1609m at this track, beaten 13 metres. His recent form is good enough to take out a race like this. RUST (7) scored at this track two runs ago before having his colours lowered when third at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 15 metres. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. Good enough to take out a race like this. LYONS BLEWBYU (8) is on the radar after his last-start fifth over 1609m at this track a week ago. WHODOUTHINKURIAM (1) is worth another chance after a last-start ninth over 1609m at Meadowlands three-and-a-half weeks ago.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Corbin Hanover at this track over 1609m in a W3-6PMLT on September 21 at $6. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second behind D A Lets Dance at this track over 1609m in a NW3PMLT on September 29 at $5.30. Can improve. Sure to be in the finish.

Last start was well beaten into third behind D A Lets Dance at this track over 1609m in a NW3PMLT on September 29 at $18. Performed better the start before where he won by 4 m as favourite (Fr4) at this track (1:53.30) beating Manasota in NW2PMLT on September 21 at $2.20. Big run expected.
