Plainridge Racecourse Race 5

1609M

Prize Money: $30,534

JETTINGTOMALIBU (5) got the job done in tremendous style last start to score by 16 metres at this track over 1609m, that run following a fourth two starts back at this track. This looks a sterner test than last time but he is capable of another big performance. ALWAYS A MIKI (3) finished sixth last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 25 metres, after scoring at the previous appearance over 1609m at this track. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is capable of taking this out. EVER HOPING A (6) is the next best after finishing third over 1609m at this track last time out. GANDOLF THE BLACK (7) must be considered after he finished runner-up over 1609m at this track a week ago.
