Plainridge Racecourse Race 10 - Race 10 - 1609M

SPORT SECRET (2) drew wide last start and was never a genuine threat, beaten 8 metres into sixth at this track over 1609m. This should be an easier assignment so from a nice draw he is a major player. NEGOTIATOR (4) finished fourth last start, beaten 18 metres at this track over 1609m. Capable of playing a major role so has to be respected. JUSTCALLMEBUCK (6) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 4.5 metres at this track over 1609m. LIFES A PUZZLE (5) is better than his last-start seventh over 1609m at this track.
