Plainridge Racecourse Race 8 - Race 8 - 1609M
QUENTIN QUARANTINO (4) resumes after finishing sixth at his latest appearance at this track on November 21. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a major role. GABE HANOVER (1) won at Cumberland Raceway two runs ago before finishing sixth at his latest appearance over 1609m at Meadowlands, beaten 20 metres. Has the benefit of a good draw. Tackles a similar assignment and he can turn in a much better performance. CENTURY HEINEKEN (7) resumes. Last appeared when a modest eighth over 1609m at Yonkers Raceway four-and-a-half months ago. HEY JUDE HANOVER (2) is in the mix at his first run since scoring over 1609m at this track four-and-a-half months ago.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Fr5) over 1609m at Meadowlands beaten 20 m by Stonebridge Reef (1:51.20) in NW5000L5CD on April 4 at $78.20. Showed ability the run before when he posted a big 4 m win (Fr7) at Cumberland Raceway (1:59.00) beating Lou Ed Zeppelin in NW2500L4 on March 29 at $11.80. Well placed, should prove hard to beat.

Resumes. His previous first-up run was successful when he won by a neck (Fr5) at Dover Downs (1:54.10) beating Defensive Player in NW1 on March 22 2022 at $10. Will find this a tough assignment; prefer later.
