Plainridge Racecourse Race 10

1609M

Prize Money: $30,726

ROCKIN ON VENUS (5) turned in a much better run last time out when he scored by 6 metres over 1609m at this track. Big chance in a similar race. BORNINLOCKDOWN (6) won at this track two runs ago but couldn't repeat the dose at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 4.5 metres. Meets a similar line up and he can get the job done. HEINIKIN BYTHEBAY (1) was responsible for a better effort last time out when runner-up over 1609m at this track. Should run a big race. MR MCLAREN N (2) is the best of the rest after finishing fourth over 1609m at this track last time out. Something for the Multiples: BORNINLOCKDOWN GB (6)

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing third behind Borninlockdown at this track over 1609m in a OPEN 2 HC on April 28 at $3.60. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing second behind Rockin On Venus at this track over 1609m in a NW12500CD on May 7 at $9.30. Hard to fault on current form.

Last start 7th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track, beaten 21 m by For Once Inmy Life (1:50.30) in OPEN on April 20 at $22.10. Two runs back won by 3 m as favourite (Fr4) at this track (1:51.20) beating Grey Horizon in NW10000CD on April 13 at $1.60. Can't recommend against this lot.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track, beaten 4.5 m by Binge On Yankee (1:52.00) in OPEN on May 7 at $20.90. Showed ability the run before when he won by 6 m as favourite (Fr5) at this track (1:51.00) beating Solesseo Matuca in OPEN 2 HC on April 28 at $1.70. Strong winning prospects.
