Plainridge Racecourse Race 1 - Race 1 - 1609m
CD FLETCH (4) has drawn wide in recent runs. Failed to feature last time out when sixth over 1609m at Tioga Downs. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is up to the challenge. PASTRNAK (2) turned in another strong performance last start when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1609m at this track. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Meets a similar line up and he is a strong winning hope. BETTOR'S GOLD (5) is in the mix following a fourth at her most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. PERFECTLY LOVELY (6) is a chance after finishing in the money for the second time in a row last start, beaten 7 metres into third at this track.

Improved last start with a good run when 3rd (Fr4) over 1609m at this track, beaten 19 m by Rust (1:54.00) in CGNW1PMLT on September 7 at $5.20. Has the right credentials to take this out.

Has been mixing his form of late, most recently 4th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track, beaten 21 m by Rust (1:54.00) in CGNW1PMLT on September 7 at $9.90. Before that 5th (Fr3) over 1609m at Bangor Raceway beaten 40 m by Real Horrorshow (2:00.20) in ME SS3CP on July 19. This looks too tough.

Recent form below what he is capable of. Last start 6th (Fr7) over 1609m at Tioga Downs beaten 9 m by Sweet Pete Pv (1:54.30) in NW2PM on September 7 at $267.10. The start before 7th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 70 m by Street Justice (1:56.20) in NW1PMLT on August 27 at $5. Good enough to turn things around.

Fair run when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third behind Dreamers Due at this track over 1609m in a MASS BRED on August 4 at $4.90. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing third behind Pastrnak at this track over 1609m in a MASS BRED on August 11 at $8. Perfectly placed to win.
