Plainridge Racecourse Race 4

1609m

Prize Money: $61,494

ALTAIR BLUE CHIP (5) finished third last start, beaten 15 metres at this track over 1609m. It doesn't get any easier but he is capable of playing a significant role. ALCATRAZ BLUE CHIP (1) has been knocking on the door for a while then went close again last time over 1609m at this track, finishing second and just 9 metres from the winner. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Tackles a similar assignment and he can bounce back to winning ways. BEANTOWN MIKI (2) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 1609m at this track last time out. PASTRNAK (6) showed pleasing improvement last time out when third over 1609m at this track.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Sand Dollar at Saratoga over 1609m in a WO2-5PMCD on September 19 at $17.22. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing second behind Beantown Dragon at this track over 1609m in a MASS STK on September 29 at $5.40. In the mix from the inside draw.

Didn't do much at the last run, 6th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track beaten 40 m by Beantown Dragon (1:52.30) in MASS STK on September 29 at $92.70. Before that 7th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track beaten 21 m by Bettor's Gold (1:55.20) in NW1PMLT on September 21 at $27.60. Other runners are more appealing.

Fair performance when beaten by 4.5 m finishing fourth behind Bettor's Gold at this track over 1609m in a NW1PMLT on September 21 at $4.30. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Beantown Dragon at this track over 1609m in a MASS STK on September 29 at $21.80. Looks ready to win.
