Plainridge Racecourse Race 5

1609m

Prize Money: $27,894

SOUTHPAW (6) has been racing very well and deserved his victory last time out, scoring by 1.5 metres over 1609m at this track. Meets a similar line up so he is capable of getting the job done again. COURAGEOUS WARRIOR (4) turned in a strong performance last start when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1609m at this track. Tackles a similar assignment and he can take this out. DIGGING FOR GOLD (7) is a genuine type who was a solid second most recently at this track. Among the better chances in what looks a suitable assignment. FULL METAL JACKET (2) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing third behind Southpaw at this track over 1609m in a MA BRED on May 21 at $25.10. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Wild Bill Wyatt at this track over 1609m in a W4-7PMLT on May 28 at $6.30. In fine form. Leading contender.

Racing consistently with minor placings at his last two starts at this course. Placed last start 2nd (Fr1) over 1609m at this track, beaten 4 m by Full Metal Jacket (1:51.30) in W4-7PMLT on May 21 at $1.60. Before that 2nd (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten a neck by Wild Bill Wyatt (1:52.40) in W4-7PMLT on May 14 at $4.90. Finds a few better. Can't recommend.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Wild Bill Wyatt at this track over 1609m in a W4-7PMLT on May 14 at $4.60. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second behind Southpaw at this track over 1609m in a MA BRED on May 21 at $5.80. Should be right in the finish.
