Plainridge Racecourse Race 2 - Race 2 - 1609m

CLAPTON (1) continued a solid run of recent form when he scored at his latest appearance over 1609m at Scioto Downs, getting home by 3 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Meets a similar line up and he is a strong winning hope. HEY JUDE HANOVER (4) scored at this track three runs ago. Returned to something like that form last time out when third over 1609m at this track, beaten 4.5 metres. Meets a similar line up and he can play a big role. CLEARWATER COURAGE (5) has been thereabouts of late and is a great chance to break through. Good effort last time out when he finished fifth at this track over 1609m. ARTHUR IDLAM (6) cannot be left out after registering a sequence of three top-three finishes, the latest at this track a week ago.

Four-year-old entire is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at Scioto Downs and Oak Grove Racing both over 1609m. Last start won by 3 m (Fr4) at Scioto Downs (1:54.00) beating Hunterandmilo in HGNW4CDCL on July 15 at $2.90. Recent form hard to fault and is again a strong contender.

Last start 4th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track, beaten 6 m by Boogy Woogy J (1:52.20) on August 3 at $7.30. Before that, a good run when 3rd (Fr4) over 1609m at this track, beaten 12 m by Domi (1:52.40) on July 23 at $1.05. Recent form okay so worth some thought.
