Plainridge Racecourse Race 7

1609m

Prize Money: $18,678

TOBASCO (2) was once again right in the mix last start when runner-up over 1609m at this track, beaten 4 metres. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. It doesn't get any easier but he is capable of another big performance. GRAFENBERG (4) finished third at this track two runs ago before a comparable effort at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 22 metres. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is up to the challenge. PASS KEY (7) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 2.25 metres at this track over 1609m. HALIFAX (1) is the best of the rest after finishing fifth over 1609m at this track last time out.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following October 6 run. Just managed to hang on and win won by a 0.8 m (Fr6) at this track (1:57.30) beating Just Foolin in TRK<73 on October 15 at $8.30. This race will be harder than that win. Needs an easier assignment.

Last start was well beaten into fourth behind Peach Cocktail at this track over 1609m on October 15 at $16.30. Performed better the start before with a game effort when 3rd (Fr1) over 1609m at this track beaten 4.5 m by Swan Faith (1:56.00) on October 8 at $5.40. Capable of taking this out.

Eight-year-old gelding showed improvement last time. 2nd (Fr1) over 1609m at this track beaten 10 m by The World Owes Me (1:55.10) on October 15 at $10.60. The run before was not as impressive when well beaten into seventh behind Grateful at this track over 1609m on October 1 at $16.90. This is likely to prove too tough.

Recent efforts have been impressive. Last start won by 2.25 m (Fr5) at this track (1:55.40) beating Swan Faith in TRK<76 on October 1 at $5.40. Going well enough to play a big role again.
