Plainridge Racecourse Race 10 - Race 10 - 1609M
CLEARWATER COURAGE (2) had been building to a win and it arrived last start when he scored by 0.8 metres over 1609m at this track. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. His recent effort is good enough to win a race of this calibre. BAG PIPE MAJOR (3) has had three runs this prep and is yet to finish in the top three. Was again unable to find the frame last start when he finished fourth over 1609m at this track, beaten 20 metres. Has the benefit of a good draw. Tackles a similar assignment and he can take care of this line-up. SUNDOWN KID (5) has been thereabouts of late and is a great chance to break through. Good effort last time out when he finished fifth at this track over 1609m. WHATA FOOLBELIEVES (8) is the best of the rest after finishing runner-up over 1609m at this track last time out.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing third behind Boiler Maker at this track over 1609m on April 20 at $2.90. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing second behind Head Honcho at this track over 1609m on April 27 at $3.80. Has the right credentials to take this out.
