Plainridge Racecourse Race 9

1609m

Prize Money: $22,989

WHATS FOR SUPPAAH (4) scored at this track three runs ago. Returned to something like that form last time out when third over 1609m at this track, beaten 0.8 metres. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. HUNGRY TO SUCCEED (2) is in good form with top-five finishes at his last four starts, most recently recording a third over 1609m at this track. Has the benefit of a good draw. Won't find this any harder and he can get the job done. HES COMING ON (6) is in the mix following a sixth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. RIDGECREST DAN (5) must be respected after scoring last start by 1.5 metres at Bangor Raceway over 1609m.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Charlies Wish at this track over 1609m in a NW6000CD on September 22 at $13.90. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing third behind Mach Seelster at this track over 1609m in a NW6000CD on October 9 at $3.30. Going along well. Top prospects.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing fifth behind Mach Seelster at this track over 1609m in a NW6000CD on October 9 at $6.60. Then a handy effort when a close third behind Jl's Rock Star at this track over 1609m on October 16 at $2.50. Has the ability to play a major role.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 6th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 8 m by Mach Seelster (1:52.10) in NW6000CD on October 9 at $3.50. The run prior 8th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track beaten 30 m by Hunting Zone (1:50.00) in NW9000CD on October 2 at $36.60. Worth another chance. Leading contender.

Racing consistently with minor placings at his last two starts. Placed last start 2nd (Fr2) over 1609m at Bangor Raceway beaten 2.25 m by Cool Man Dude (1:56.30) in NW3500L4CD on October 17 at $5.70. Before that 2nd (Fr6) over 1609m at Bangor Raceway, beaten 16 m by At Any Cost (1:55.20) in NW1500L4CD on September 16 at $5.10. Better off avoiding.
