Plainridge Racecourse Race 4 - Race 4 - 1609m

LAURENS HOOPLA (2) ran fifth last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 12 metres. Has the benefit of a good draw. Finds a nice race and will take plenty of beating. COUSIN VAN (5) has been on the money a lot of late and went close again last time over 1609m at this track, finishing third and 2.25 metres from the winner. Good enough to put himself in the winners' stall. LIKE A WARRIOR (4) has been thereabouts of late and is a great chance to break through. Good effort last time out when he finished second at this track over 1609m. LEXUS RANGER (6) is the best of the rest after finishing fifth over 1609m at this track last time out.

Didn't do much last time out, 7th (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, beaten 9 m by Northern Sultan (1:57.20) on July 23 at $60.90. Before that 4th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track, beaten 5 m by Heartofgold Devie (1:56.20) on July 16 at $42.60. Might find this lot a bit smart.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Wicked Fun at this track over 1609m on July 16 at $7.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing second behind Fog Watch at this track over 1609m on July 23 at $3.20. Capable of testing this line-up.

Last start 6th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track, beaten 7 m by Northern Sultan (1:57.20) on July 23 at $7.80. Two runs back won by a 0.8 m as favourite (Fr6) at this track (1:57.10) beating Northern Sultan in TRK<70 on July 16 at $1.70. Will not find this easy. Not keen.

Fair run when beaten by 3 m finishing second behind Lightningfast at this track over 1609m on June 29 at $4.10. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Northern Sultan at this track over 1609m on July 23 at $13.70. Plenty to like about his prospects.
