Plainridge Racecourse Race 3 - Race 3 - 1609m

TOBASCO (7) finished second last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 3 metres, after a good win at this track the run prior. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. Has the class to take this out. LEXUS RANGER (6) was 13 metres away in second at this track over 1609m last start at his first run back from a spell. Tackles a similar assignment and he can continue the strong start to the campaign. NORTHERN SULTAN (4) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when second at this track over 1609m. Must be included. CHASING CRYSTALS (5) is the best of the rest after finishing fifth over 1609m at this track last time out.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Creative Venture at this track over 1609m on July 7 at $5. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Wicked Fun at this track over 1609m on July 16 at $3. Plenty to like about his prospects.
