Plainridge Racecourse Race 1 - Race 1 - 1609M
DIGGING FOR GOLD (1) was yet again about the mark last start when runner-up over 1609m at this track, beaten 0.9 metres. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Meets a similar line up so he is capable of continuing his fine form. JON I LOVE DAT (4) was successful last time out by 2.25 metres in a nice return to form at this track over 1609m. Tackles a similar assignment and he can make it consecutive wins. SOUTHPAW (3) has a strong record here which is significant. Finished second over 1609m at this track last time out. CAPTAIN ROCKNROLL (5) is in the mix following a sixth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.
