Plainridge Racecourse Race 2 - Race 2 - 1609M
LAURENS HOOPLA (4) finished fourth last start, beaten 6 metres at this track over 1609m. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. HELP DUST (1) added to his recent string of strong performances last start when runner-up over 1609m at this track, beaten 0.9 metres. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Leading hope in this comparable race. PARADISE LINDY (3) is looming as a real threat after a better effort last start, finishing third at this track over 1609m. DOWN RIGHT DEVIOUS (5) could only finish seventh over 1609m at this track most recently. In the mix if he can recapture his best form.

Fair performance when beaten by 3 m finishing third behind Cruising Tom at this track over 1609m in a NW4PMLT on November 6 at $4.80. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Just Show Up at this track over 1609m in a NW4PMLT on November 13 at $13.50. Very hard to beat from the inside draw.

Didn't do much at the last run, 6th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 15 m by Okay (1:57.30) in NW2500CD on November 6 at $15.20. Before that 7th over 1609m at Mohawk Park beaten 30 m by Connor (1:56.10) in 3yo CG on October 12 at $42.55. Unlikely to threaten.

Two back was well beaten into seventh behind Twoscoopsforjack at this track over 1609m in a W2-6PMLT on October 30 at $7.40. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing third behind Just Show Up at this track over 1609m in a NW4PMLT on November 13 at $10.20. Nicely placed to take this out.

Been racing well and showed plenty of improvement following November 6 run. Last posted a big 4.5 m win as favourite (Fr4) at this track (1:58.10) beating Guinness in TRK<70 on November 14 at $2.40. This race will be harder than that win. This will test.
