Plainridge Racecourse Race 5 - Race 5 - 1609M
FOR ONCE INMY LIFE (4) scored two runs back then recorded a comfortable victory last start, scoring by 12 metres over 1609m at Meadowlands. Meeting a deeper field this time but he good enough to play a major role. ROCKNROLL RUNA A (5) was expected to do a lot more last time out when fifth, beaten 15 metres, over 1609m at Saratoga. Form prior to that was a better guide to his ability, including a win over 1609m at Saratoga two starts ago. Meets some strong opposition this time but a better run is on the cards. BORNINLOCKDOWN (2) disappointed last time when seventh over 1609m at Pocono Downs. Can bounce back. HANDLELIKEAPORSCHE (1) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1609m at Saratoga. Something for the Multiples: BORNINLOCKDOWN GB (2) TENZING BROMAC N (3)

Last start 8th (Fr1) over 1609m at Yonkers Raceway well beaten by Copperfield (1:52.10) in NW30000L5 on April 6 at $7.19. Two runs back 3rd (Fr4) over 1609m at Yonkers Raceway beaten 5 m by Vicious (1:53.00) in NW30000L5 on March 30 at $12.55. This looks too tough.

Six-year-old entire is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at Meadowlands both over 1609m. Last start posted a big 12 m win as favourite (Fr2) at Meadowlands (1:50.10) beating Santana Hanover in NW10500L5 on March 21 at $1.20. Recent form hard to fault.
