Plainridge Racecourse Race 1

1609m

Prize Money: $15,692

SUNDOWN KID (5) has been racing well, filling a top-five position at his last five starts including a second most recently at this track over 1609m. Leading hope in this comparable race. TORRID SAINT A (4) was racing with great purpose before the latest appearance when he finished 6 metres away in second over 1609m at this track. Tackles a similar assignment and he can play a major role once again. ODDS ON LAUDERDALE (1) didn't do a bad job when sixth over 1609m at this track last time out. GANDALF THE BAY (2) is the next elect off a last-start win by 6 metres at Saratoga over 1609m.

Hard to fault of late. Last start won by 6 m as favourite (Fr3) at Saratoga (1:55.30) beating Twin B Crunch Time in NW2500L5CD on August 22 at $2.18. Sure to be thereabouts.

Didn't do much last time out, 6th (Fr4) over 1609m at this track, beaten 12 m by Lyons Benz (1:52.10) on August 20 at $14.20. Before that 7th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track, beaten 18 m by Leave It To Luther (1:54.10) on August 13 at $7.10. Not likely to trouble the top few.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing second behind Instant Replay at this track over 1609m in a 12500CL on August 10 at $2.90. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing second behind Sporty M Three at this track over 1609m in a NW3000CD on August 24 at $4. Sure to play a major role.

Fair run when beaten by 5 m finishing second behind Hespoisedtopounce at this track over 1609m in a NW3000CD on August 17 at $3.50. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Swifty Run at this track over 1609m on August 24 at $1.20. Genuine contender in this suitable contest.
