Plainridge Racecourse Race 8 - Race 8 - 1609M

CLEARWATER COURAGE (4) finished fourth last start, beaten 6 metres at this track over 1609m. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. ODDS ON LAUDERDALE (5) was 9 metres away in second at this track over 1609m last start at his first run back from a spell. Steps up a level but he is fitter and good enough to cope. RANALDI (1) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. MAJOR LEAGUER (3) ended last prep with a fourth at Vernon Downs over 1609m six months ago. Capable of a forward showing while fresh.

Didn't do much at the last run, 7th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track, beaten 13 m by Wainapedia (1:54.40) on April 13 at $62.10. Before that 8th (Fr8) over 1609m at Cumberland Raceway, beaten 23 m by No Better Joy (1:58.40) in NW3500L4 on April 4 at $38. Recent form suggests he needs to lift.
