Plainridge Racecourse Race 1 - Race 1 - 1609M
SANDPIPER N (3) scored at this track two runs ago before having his colours lowered when seventh at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 35 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Has the ability to take care of this field. SHREDDAR (1) had a favourable gate and was too good at Saratoga two runs ago. Drew wide last start and was safely held, beaten 25 metres into fourth at Saratoga over 1609m. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Finds a tougher race but a return to form is not out of the question. PRINCE MALICIOUS (2) is on the radar after his last-start fourth over 1609m at this track eight days ago. FINNBAR (4) won by 0.9 metres over 1609m at this track last start at the second run back from a spell. Open to further improvement.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track, beaten 35 m by Warrawee Yale (1:52.00) in STR ALL on May 16 at $64.20. Showed ability the outing before when he won by 1.5 m as favourite (Fr1) at this track (1:55.40) beating Part Time Affair in TRK<77 on May 2 at $1.30. Sure to play a big role.

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start won by a 0.9 m as favourite (Fr6) at this track (1:55.10) beating Tuapeka Trick in TRK<71 on May 22 at $2.80. Hard to leave out on current form. Worth including.

Comes here in the right form. Posted a big 6 m win (Fr7) at Cumberland Raceway (1:59.10) beating So It Goes in NW750L4 on May 23 at $7.60. Two runs back 2nd (Fr5) over 1609m at Cumberland Raceway, beaten 1.5 m by Art Of Endurance (1:57.30) in TMR 64 on May 16 at $1.50. Others look better chances.
