Plainridge Racecourse Race 4 - Race 4 - 1609M

FULL METAL JACKET (5) resumes from a spell of six months after closing off last campaign in good form, the last run being a solid second over 1609m at this track. Sure to be right there at the finish. JOEY JOE (1) finished second last start over 1609m at Saratoga, beaten 2.25 metres, after scoring at the previous appearance over 1609m at Saratoga. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Finds a tougher race but a win is not out of the question. TH KAY C CRUNCH (3) is in the mix following a respectable second at his most recent appearance over 1609m at Saratoga. TIME PASSER (2) is worth some thought based on his victory over 1609m at Saratoga two runs ago.

Failed to impress last start; 8th (Fr7) over 1609m at Saratoga, beaten 15 m by Luck Is Up (1:54.20) in NW7500L5CD on April 4 at $19.75. Showed ability the run before when he posted a big 17 m win as favourite (Fr4) at Saratoga (1:54.30) beating Pirates Code in WO2-5PMCD on March 21 at $2.49. Has the ability to take this out.

Two back was well beaten into eighth behind Invictus at Saratoga over 1609m in a WO2-5PMCD on March 28 at $2.68. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing second behind Alien Power at Saratoga over 1609m in a WO2-5PMCD on April 4 at $6.74. Can improve. Very hard to beat.
