Plainridge Racecourse Race 2 - Race 2 - 1609m
UFF DA (5) added to his recent string of strong performances last start when runner-up over 1609m at Northfield Park, beaten 10 metres. This looks a sterner test than last time but he is capable of adding to the fine recent form. WHISKEY VENOM (3) can break his way into the winner's list after recording a sequence of four top-three finishes, the latest at this track a week ago. COLNAGO (4) is worth some thought after his last-start fifth over 1609m at this track on August 27.

Didn't do much last time out, 6th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track beaten 50 m by D A Lets Dance (1:53.00) in NW2PMLT on September 7 at $31.10. Before that 6th (Fr7) over 1609m at Philadelphia beaten 35 m by Rough Odds (1:54.00) in AHDC on August 2 at $39.80. Not likely to trouble the top few.

Last start was well beaten into second behind D A Lets Dance at this track over 1609m in a NW2PMLT on September 7 at $3.60. Performed better the start before with a good run when 2nd (Fr1) over 1609m at this track, beaten 3 m by Beantown Dragon (1:53.40) in NW2PMLT on August 27 at $4.40. Capable of taking this out.

Fair run when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second behind Jafar at Northfield Park over 1609m in a NW2PMCD on August 17 at $3.10. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second behind Jafar at Northfield Park over 1609m in a NW2PMCD on August 31 at $9.20. Definite winning chance.
