Plainridge Racecourse Race 11 - Race 11 - 1609m
SOUTHPAW (3) ran fourth last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 11 metres. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. This is a nice drop in class so he is sure to prove tough to beat. LOCHLAN HANOVER (5) made it two in a row last start when he got the cash by 0.8 metres over 1609m at this track. Good enough to take out a race like this. VINTAGE CHEDDAR N (6) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish third at this track over 1609m. Genuine threat. JM'S DELIGHT (1) must be respected after scoring last start by 0.9 metres at Monticello Raceway over 1609m.

Racing consistently. Last start won by a 0.9 m (Fr6) at Monticello Raceway (1:53.30) beating Scribblers in OPEN on September 1 at $16.70. Capable of a top-three finish.

Fair performance when beaten by 3 m finishing fourth behind Lochlan Hanover at this track over 1609m in a NW12000CD on September 1 at $3.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing third behind Virtual Horizon at this track over 1609m in a NW12000CD on September 8 at $2. Well placed, should prove hard to beat.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following August 23 run. Last start won by 1.5 m (Fr3) at this track (1:50.20) beating Taste Of Honey in NW6000CD on August 31 at $9.40. This race will be harder than that win. Others preferred.
