Plainridge Racecourse Race 5 - Race 5 - 1609m
BINGE ON YANKEE (6) won at this track two runs ago before finishing second at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 6 metres. Big chance if he is at his best. TWO FOLD COLD (4) has been on the money a lot of late and went close again last time over 1609m at this track, finishing third and 7 metres from the winner. Primary contender based on that latest outing. JAMAICAN ROCK A (3) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. HES COMING ON (2) must be included after winning his past two starts, the latest at this track a week ago.

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start won by a 0.9 m (Fr2) at this track (1:50.10) beating Confederatestar in NW12500L4 on June 4 at $10.40. Hard to leave out on current form. Must be considered.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing second behind Binge On Yankee at this track over 1609m in a OPEN on May 28 at $13.60. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing third behind Alex Having Fun at this track over 1609m in a OPEN on June 4 at $4.50. This race appears well within his grasp.

Been racing well and showed plenty of improvement following May 28 run. Last start won by 1.5 m (Fr6) at this track (1:49.10) beating Thenu Came Along in NW10000L4 on June 4 at $19.70. This race will be harder than that win. Facing a more difficult task this time.

Last start game effort when 2nd (Fr5) over 1609m at this track beaten 6 m by Alex Having Fun (1:48.30) in OPEN on June 4 at $1.30. Two runs back posted a big 9 m win as favourite (Fr5) at this track (1:49.40) beating Two Fold Cold in OPEN on May 28 at $2. Going nicely and looks a top chance.
