Plainridge Racecourse Race 1 - Race 1 - 1609m
GRATEFUL (1) has been racing well of late. Finished fourth at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 6 metres. Has the benefit of a good draw. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. SLICK LEONARD (3) has been racing well, filling a top-five position at his last four starts including a third most recently at this track over 1609m. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Stepping up a level this time but he is capable of adding to the fine recent form. FOURTH WARNING (5) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 1609m at this track last time out. THE WORLD OWES ME (7) is worth some thought after his last-start sixth over 1609m at this track on August 20.
