Plainridge Racecourse Race 1 - Race 1 - 1609m
SILVER SANDS (4) ran second last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 3 metres. Meets a comparable field so she will be hard to beat. STING ME (1) turned in a much better run last start when runner-up over 1609m at this track, beaten 1.5 metres. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Tackles a similar assignment and he can go right on with the job. BEANTOWN BIG AL (5) has been thereabouts of late and is a great chance to break through. Good effort last time out when he finished fifth at this track over 1609m. TALL DARK SAILOR (6) finished 105 metres back in fifth over 1609m at this track recently at his first race start. Strips fitter and can improve.

Fair run when beaten by 6 m finishing fourth behind Always B Winning at this track over 1609m in a ROMPER RM on August 25 at $6. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing second behind Atreides at this track over 1609m in a ROMPER RM on September 1 at $5.30. Sure to play a major role.

Two-year-old gelding facing the starter for the second time. At debut 5th (Fr4) over 1609m at this track well beaten by Stayoutofmylane (1:55.30) in ROMPER RM on September 1 at $56.50. Should be right in the finish.
