Plainridge Racecourse Race 5 - Race 5 - 1609m

BEANTOWN DRAGON (1) finished fifth last start, beaten 18 metres at this track over 1609m. Talented and has plenty of upside. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. WHISKEY VENOM (6) scored at this track two runs ago before having his colours lowered when third at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 15 metres. Primary contender if things go his way. TAHUNANUI (7) is in the mix following a respectable second at his most recent appearance over 1609m at Saratoga. HUNGRY JOEY (5) is the best of the rest after finishing third over 1609m at this track last time out.

Last start was well beaten into fifth behind Lyons Honeymonster at this track over 1609m in a NW4PMLT on August 6 at $8.20. Performed better the start before where he posted a big 5 m win as favourite (Fr4) at this track (1:53.20) beating The Unit in NW2PMLT on July 30 at $1.70. Very hard to beat from the inside draw.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Better Dig Two at Saratoga over 1609m in a NW2PMCDPU on August 8 at $5.52. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Convict at this track over 1609m in a NW1PMLT on August 13 at $1.90. Looks ready to win.
