Plainridge Racecourse Race 5 - Race 5 - 1609M
BANG AH UEY (3) ran third last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 10 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Tackles a similar assignment and he can play a major role in the outcome. WHATA FOOLBELIEVES (1) has been knocking on the door for a while then went close again last time over 1609m at this track, finishing third and just 2.25 metres from the winner. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Meets a comparable field and he is a strong winning hope. COLT BENNETT (7) was responsible for a better effort last time out when runner-up over 1609m at this track. Should run a big race. ISAAC (5) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at this track over 1609m.

Didn't do much at the last run, 5th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track, beaten 6 m by Meadowbrook Flash (1:53.20) on May 25 at $16.30. Before that 4th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track beaten 10 m by Wainapedia (1:53.10) on May 18 at $8.80. Hard to make a winning case.

Two back was well beaten into seventh behind Sandpiper at this track over 1609m on May 2 at $29.90. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second behind Missed The Truth at this track over 1609m on May 11 at $16.80. Capable of a strong showing.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following April 25 run. Just managed to hang on and win won by a neck (Fr6) at this track (1:54.30) beating Uwaitillgofirst in NW2500CD on May 4 at $7.50. This race will be harder than that win. Looking to others in this race.
