Plainridge Racecourse Race 5

1609m

Prize Money: $23,611

JEFFREY NEIL (5) made it two in succession last start when he got the cash by 8 metres over 1609m at this track. Good enough to take out a race like this. PONDA ROCKY (4) again drew a wide gate last start but did a good job, beaten 17 metres into third at this track over 1609m. Leading hope if things fall his way. ENERGETIC JULIO (1) didn't do a bad job when fifth over 1609m at this track last time out. SAINT STEPHENS (3) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.

Well beaten last start by Jeffrey Neil, a rival who she faces again; when 30 metres fifth at this track over 1609m in a W2-5PMLT race on September 3. Can't have on that basis.

Three-year-old colt is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track both over 1609m. Last start won by 8 m as favourite (Fr4) at this track (1:54.10) beating Brewster Baker in W2-5PMLT on September 3 at $1.50. Recent form hard to fault.
