Plainridge Racecourse Race 5 - Race 5 - 1609m
JOHNNY LINCOLN N (3) finished second last time out, beaten 6 metres, in a nice return to form at Yonkers Raceway over 1609m when second-up from a break. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Finds a nice race and will take plenty of beating once more. JERICHO JOHNNY (6) is in good form at present. Finished fourth at his latest appearance over 1609m at Batavia Downs, beaten 9 metres. This should be an easier assignment so he is in the right race to find the winners' list. SUNSATIONAL (1) is the next elect off a last-start win by 2.25 metres at this track over 1609m. RIDGECREST DAN (7) is worth some thought after his last-start sixth over 1609m at this track on August 24.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Reincarnated at Yonkers Raceway over 1609m in a HGW2BN4PM on August 18 at $4.68. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing second behind Ballroom Affair at Yonkers Raceway over 1609m in a HGW2BN4PM on August 25 at $6.33. Has the ability to play a major role.
