Plainridge Racecourse Race 10

1609m

Prize Money: $26,389

SURREAL SPIRIT (2) scored by 4.5 metres at Tioga Downs over 1609m last start, the second win from her past three runs. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. This doesn't look as hard so she is set to continue her fine form. CORBIN HANOVER (6) was successful last time out by 6 metres at this track over 1609m after an encouraging minor placing the start before. Big chance in this comparable race. NO GUTS NO GLORY (4) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 1609m at this track last time out. BE READY TO ROCK (3) is a consistent performer with three top-three finishes on the trot. Won't let backers down.

Solid run when a close second behind Luca Bay at this track over 1609m in a W2-5PMLT on September 14 at $5.20. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Corbin Hanover at this track over 1609m in a W3-6PMLT on September 21 at $25.40. Racing in great heart and is a leading contender.

Last start 8th (Fr9) over 1609m at this track, beaten 14 m by Luca Bay (1:53.00) in W2-5PMLT on September 14 at $44.60. At the run before good run when 3rd (Fr2) over 1609m at this track beaten 9 m by Lyons Honeymonster (1:50.40) in NW4PMLT on August 6 at $27. Should be right in the finish.

Well beaten last start by Corbin Hanover, who he meets again; when 55 metres ninth at this track over 1609m in a W3-6PMLT race on September 21. Can't have on that basis.
