Plainridge Racecourse Race 10

1609m

Prize Money: $16,523

CLEARWATER COURAGE (5) finished fourth last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 14 metres. Best recent result was a win at this track three starts ago over 1609m. Meets a similar line up and he is capable of another bold performance. FINNBAR (3) put together some minor placings then displayed pleasing improvement last start to score by 4 metres over 1609m at this track on September 29. Has the benefit of a good draw. Meets a comparable field and he can make it two on the trot. TWIN B JAYS (4) is looming as a real threat after a better effort last start, finishing second at this track over 1609m. SANDPIPER N (6) is worth another chance after a last-start seventh over 1609m at this track two weeks ago.

Recent efforts have been impressive. Last start won by 4 m as favourite (Fr1) at this track (1:54.10) beating Cbf Squirt Gun in TRK<73 on September 29 at $2.10. Great chance to win again.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind General Montana at this track over 1609m in a 10000CL on September 22 at $23.40. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second behind Captain Tell at this track over 1609m on September 29 at $5.50. Capable of testing this line-up.
