Plainridge Racecourse Race 11 - Race 11 - 1609m
FULL METAL JACKET (4) finished third last start, beaten 4.5 metres at Saratoga over 1609m. This is a nice drop in class so he is a major player. SOHO SPECTRE A (7) has drawn wide in recent runs. Was commendable in defeat last time out when third over 1609m at this track. Will need a bit of luck again negotiating a very wide starting position. Big chance if things fall his way. T H TYSON (9) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 8 metres at this track over 1609m. MAKORORI N (2) is worth some thought after his last-start sixth over 1609m at this track on September 1. Something for the Multiples: WILD BILL WYATT (6)

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Twisted Destiny at Batavia Downs over 1609m in a KANE PACE on August 22 at $69.65. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third behind Blazing Home at Saratoga over 1609m in a JGERRITY on August 29 at $50.09. Chief contender.
