Plainridge Racecourse Race 5

1609M

Prize Money: $36,390

FOR ONCE INMY LIFE (4) scored two runs back then recorded a comfortable victory last start, scoring by 12 metres over 1609m at Meadowlands. Meeting a deeper field this time but he good enough to play a major role. ROCKNROLL RUNA A (5) was expected to do a lot more last time out when fifth, beaten 15 metres, over 1609m at Saratoga. Form prior to that was a better guide to his ability, including a win over 1609m at Saratoga two starts ago. Meets some strong opposition this time but a better run is on the cards. BORNINLOCKDOWN (2) disappointed last time when seventh over 1609m at Pocono Downs. Can bounce back. HANDLELIKEAPORSCHE (1) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1609m at Saratoga.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 4.5 m third behind Mydadsaid at Saratoga over 1609m WO/OPENHCP last start. Before that was beaten 4.5 metres third again at Saratoga same class on March 14. Racing well and not without merit.

Six-year-old entire is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at Meadowlands both over 1609m. Last start posted a big 12 m win as favourite (Fr2) at Meadowlands (1:50.10) beating Santana Hanover in NW10500L5 on March 21 at $1.20. Recent form hard to fault.
