Plainridge Racecourse Race 8 - Race 8 - 1609M
BORNINLOCKDOWN (7) scored last start by 6 metres in a nice return to form at this track over 1609m. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. Meets a comparable field so he can make it two on the bounce. BINGE ON YANKEE (6) was expected to do a lot more last time out when fifth, beaten 4.5 metres, over 1609m at this track. Meets a similar line up and he can figure in the finish. TWO FOLD COLD (4) ended last prep with a third at this track over 1609m. Capable of a forward showing while fresh. BELMONT ROYALE N (5) has been about the mark of late and must be respected, the latest offering a sound second at Saratoga over 1609m.

Fair performance when beaten by 5 m finishing third behind Soho Dow Jones at Yonkers Raceway over 1609m in a NW11991L5 on April 21 at $2.15. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing second behind Boston Bound at Yonkers Raceway over 1609m in a NW22241L5 on April 28 at $5.65. Racing in great heart and is a leading contender.
