Plainridge Racecourse Race 5 - Race 5 - 1609m

HESPOISEDTOPOUNCE A (3) did a good job to finish second two starts ago then recorded a comfortable victory last time out, scoring by 5 metres over 1609m at this track. Has the benefit of a good draw. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he good enough to play a major role. QUENTIN QUARANTINO (4) was yet again about the mark last time out when runner-up over 1609m at this track, beaten 5 metres. Must raise the bar but another big run is on the cards. ODDS ON LAUDERDALE (2) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. SWEET JEFF (5) is in the mix if he can recapture the form from two starts back that saw him finish second over 1609m at this track. Something for the Multiples: SWEET JEFF IR (5)

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following August 3 run. Last start posted a big 19 m win (Fr2) at this track (1:50.40) beating Noted in TRK<79 on August 10 at $8.30. This race will be harder than that win. Minor claims at best.
