Plainridge Racecourse Race 5 - Race 5 - 1609M
MYDADSAID A (3) has been racing well, filling a top-five position at his last four starts including a second most recently at this track over 1609m. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Meets a comparable field so he can play a significant role. BINGE ON YANKEE (5) drew wide last start and was never a genuine threat, beaten 11 metres into sixth at this track over 1609m. Meets a comparable field and he can bounce back to form. BORNINLOCKDOWN (2) is worth another chance after a last-start seventh over 1609m at this track a week ago. JAMAICAN ROCK A (4) is having his first run back from a break of six months. Boasts a record of six wins from seven starts when fresh from a spell. Well-placed to open this prep with a win.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track, beaten 18 m by Ammo (1:50.20) in OPEN HC on May 21 at $2.40. Showed ability the race before when he won by 8 m as favourite (Fr6) at this track (1:50.30) beating Rockin On Venus in OPEN 2 HC on May 14 at $2. Wasn't at his best last time - can improve.

Two back was well beaten into third behind For Once Inmy Life at this track over 1609m in a OPEN HC on May 14 at $12. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Ammo at this track over 1609m in a OPEN HC on May 21 at $2.90. Rates highly. Big chance.

Returns after six months in the paddock. Finished off last campaign when beaten by 9 m finishing fourth behind Huntinthelastdolar at Yonkers Raceway over 1609m in a MGM GP L3 on December 8 at $12.18. Previous preparation first-up won by 3 m (Fr5) at Pocono Downs (1:50.30) beating Iknowbetter in W5-8PM CG on July 19 at $3.30. One of the better hopes.

Showed ability the race before when he won by 2.25 m as favourite (Fr6) at this track (1:52.00) beating Two Fold Cold in OPEN on May 7 at $1.90. Has the right credentials to take this out.
