Plainridge Racecourse Race 11 - Race 11 - 1609M

BLANK STARE (2) has been in the placings two times from as many appearances this prep. Recorded yet another strong performance last time when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1609m at this track, adding to a string of recent minor placings. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Primary contender based on those recent efforts. TAIPO N (5) is in good form at present. Finished second at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 4.5 metres. Facing a tougher assignment but he is up to the task. JOY IN MUDVILLE (6) is on the radar after his last-start fifth over 1609m at this track nine days ago. JL'S ROCK STAR (1) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by a neck at this track over 1609m.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Odds On Liquidity at Philadelphia over 1609m in a NW2500L5 on April 12 at $2.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second behind Justcallmebuck at this track over 1609m in a NW2500CD on April 28 at $2.40. Genuine contender in this suitable contest.
