Plainridge Racecourse Race 5 - Race 5 - 1609m

BORNINLOCKDOWN (4) again drew a wide gate last start and failed to feature, beaten 16 metres into fifth at this track over 1609m. This is a nice drop in grade so he is sure to prove tough to beat. NEGOTIATOR (3) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 2.25 metres from the winner in second over 1609m at this track. Has the benefit of a good draw. Meeting a deeper field this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. SWEET STREET LOU (5) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. RIFLEMAN (1) has been about the mark of late and must be respected, the latest offering a sound third at this track over 1609m.
