Plainridge Racecourse Race 5 - Race 5 - 1609m

SOUTHPAW (6) scored a decisive win last time out over 1609m at this track, getting home by 12 metres in an impressive display. It doesn't get any easier but he is capable of another big performance. DIGGING FOR GOLD (2) scored at this track three runs ago. Returned to something like that form last time out when third over 1609m at this track, beaten 18 metres. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Meets some better types this time but a win is not out of the question. JON I LOVE DAT (1) is in the mix following a respectable second at his most recent appearance over 1609m at Yonkers Raceway. HES COMING ON (3) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at this track over 1609m.
