Plainridge Racecourse Race 5

1609m

Prize Money: $17,241

PHANTOM TOM (5) was out of the money two back at Bangor Raceway. Turned in a better run last time out when third over 1609m at this track, beaten 4 metres. Big chance if he is at his best. STORM BRINGER (2) scored by 2.25 metres at Bangor Raceway over 1609m last start at his first run back from a spell. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Taking on a better field but he is fitter and up to the task. NORTHERN SULTAN (4) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at this track over 1609m. Genuine threat. SLICK LEONARD (1) disappointed last time when eighth over 1609m at this track. Can do a lot better so worth considering.

Brings the right form to the table. Won by 2.25 m (Fr3) at Bangor Raceway (2:01.30) beating Lindy On Stage in NW1500L4CD on October 17 at $5.10. Two runs back unplaced (Fr2) over 1609m at Cumberland Raceway, well beaten by Tcs Brenda (1:59.10) in NW2500L4 on July 10 at $15.60. Hard to knock after that fine return.

Two back was well beaten into eighth behind Fog Watch at this track over 1609m on October 15 at $2.70. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing second behind Crypto Cash at this track over 1609m on October 22 at $16.30. One of the key runners.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Storm Bringer at Bangor Raceway over 1609m in a NW1500L4CD on October 17 at $14.10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing third behind Smooth Landing at this track over 1609m on October 22 at $7.60. Should be right in the finish.

Didn't do much at the last run, 6th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track, beaten 40 m by Smooth Landing (1:57.20) on October 22 at $4.60. Before that 6th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 20 m by Raybarnz (1:55.20) on August 27 at $29.90. Hard to make a case.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following October 15 run. Last start won by 3 m as favourite (Fr2) at this track (1:57.20) beating Carson Hill in TRK<73 on October 22 at $4.40. This race will be harder than that win. Facing a more difficult task this time.
