Plainridge Racecourse Race 4 - Race 4 - 1609M

NO GUTS NO GLORY (4) was 2.25 metres away in second at this track over 1609m last start at his first run back from a spell. Meets a comparable field so he is capable of getting the job done. SHOW RESPECT (5) made it two in succession last start when he got the cash by 2.25 metres over 1609m at this track. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. ENCRYPTION (7) didn't do a bad job when sixth over 1609m at this track last time out. KILLING JOKE (1) must be considered after he finished runner-up over 1609m at this track nine days ago.

Two back was well beaten into seventh behind Boyd Bay at this track over 1609m in a NW4PMLT on April 20 at $73.90. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second behind Montana at this track over 1609m in a NW4PMLT on April 28 at $14. Nice effort last time. Big chance.

Four-year-old entire is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track both over 1609m. Last start won by 2.25 m (Fr4) at this track (1:52.30) beating No Guts No Glory in NW4PMLT on April 28 at $2.20. Recent form hard to fault and is again a strong contender.

Last start was well beaten into sixth behind Montana at this track over 1609m in a NW4PMLT on April 28 at $4. Performed better the start before with a solid effort when 3rd (Fr4) over 1609m at this track, beaten 1.5 m by Boyd Bay (1:54.00) in NW4PMLT on April 20 at $1.70. Definite winning chance.

Has been mixing his form of late, most recently 4th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track beaten 15 m by Show Respect (1:52.30) in NW4PMLT on April 28 at $19.70. Before that 6th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track, beaten 9 m by Boyd Bay (1:54.00) in NW4PMLT on April 20 at $34.20. Others make more appeal.
