Plainridge Racecourse Race 11

1609m

Prize Money: $31,294

JACKSON COOPER (3) finished fourth at this track two runs ago before a comparable effort at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 5 metres. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Big chance if things go his way. SET SHOT (5) has recorded two wins and two minor placings from the past five starts. Performed well once again when second at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 1.5 metres. Primary contender based on those recent efforts. IT'S IN THE STARS (1) is close to a win after two successive placings, the latest a second over 1609m at Meadowlands. Great chance to break through. PA LUKE (7) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.

Solid performance when beaten by 1.5 m finishing third behind Apocalypsebluechip at Meadowlands over 1609m in a NW10500L5 on October 17 at $5.30. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing second behind Sonofanutcracker at Meadowlands over 1609m in a NW10500L5 on October 24 at $16.90. Rates highly. Big chance.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Fifth And Five at this track over 1609m in a OPEN on October 12 at $14.10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing third behind Hunting Zone at this track over 1609m in a NW12000CD on October 19 at $1.90. Big run expected.

Fair performance when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second behind Just Givener at this track over 1609m in a W3-6PMLT on October 16 at $1.05. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Lusaka at this track over 1609m in a NW12000CD on October 26 at $1.60. Going along well. Top prospects.
