Plainridge Racecourse Race 9 - Race 9 - 1609M
MEADOWBROOK FLASH (3) was struggling to make his mark before the latest appearance when he scored by a neck over 1609m at this track. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. That latest effort is good enough to take out a race like this. WICHITA LINEMAN (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 4 metres from the winner. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Won't find this any harder and he can take care of this line-up. NOTED A (2) is in the mix following a respectable second at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. WATERFRONT (7) disappointed last time but is a chance based on a good win over 1609m at this track two runs back.

Solid performance when a close second behind Jk Objection at Bangor Raceway over 1609m in a NW3500L4CD on May 20 at $3.20. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing third behind Peter Petrify at this track over 1609m on May 25 at $7.10. Racing in great heart and is a leading contender.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, beaten 11 m by Full Metal Jacket (1:51.30) in W4-7PMLT on May 21 at $33.60. Showed ability the run before when he won by 3 m (Fr4) at this track (1:52.20) beating Windsun Duke in NW4PMLT on May 14 at $4.10. Should be right in the finish.

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start won by 6 m as favourite (Fr3) at this track (1:53.20) beating Longview Lad in TRK<77 on May 18 at $2.20. Despite winning form this is likely to prove too tough.
