Plainridge Racecourse Race 2 - Race 2 - 1609M
TICKET STATION (4) finished third last start, beaten 8 metres, in a nice return to form at this track over 1609m when second-up from a break. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish again. MANADOR (3) finished third last start, beaten 23 metres at this track over 1609m. Talented and has plenty of upside. Expect him to be prominent. NATHAN'S HONOR (5) is on the radar after his last-start fifth over 1609m at this track nine days ago. BEACH LEGACY (8) has been about the mark of late and must be respected, the latest offering a sound second at Rosecroft Raceway over 1609m.

Two back was well beaten into eighth behind Telitonthemountain at Yonkers Raceway over 1609m in a HGW1BN4PM on April 7 at $41.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third behind Show Respect at this track over 1609m in a NW4PMLT on April 28 at $9.70. One of the key runners.

Last start was well beaten into fifth behind Show Respect at this track over 1609m in a NW4PMLT on April 28 at $20.20. Raced better the start before that with a game effort when 3rd (Fr4) over 1609m at Saratoga beaten 3 m by Original Music (1:57.00) in NW2PMCD on April 8 at $2.37. Strong winning hope.

Having his second run back from a spell. Good run when 2nd (Fr2) over 1609m at Cumberland Raceway, beaten 5 m by Hippo Hanover (1:59.00) in W2-4PM on April 25 at $9.30. Fitter for that hit-out and is a definite contender.

Last start 7th (Fr3) over 1609m at Saratoga, beaten 40 m by Brave Stranger (1:56.40) in NW2PMCD on April 8 at $3. Two runs back 3rd (Fr3) over 1609m at Saratoga beaten 4.5 m by Glowing Lou (1:56.00) in NW2PMCD on March 31 at $12.27. Will not find this easy. Not keen.
