Plainridge Racecourse Race 8 - Race 8 - 1609m
WAINAPEDIA (5) ran sixth last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 9 metres. Primary contender in this comparable race. D A WICKED SHINE (2) recorded a strong performance last time when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1609m at this track. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Tackles a similar assignment and he can take this out. NOTED A (4) is in the mix following a sixth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. DANCE MONKEY (8) could only finish seventh over 1609m at this track most recently. Open to improvement and is in the mix.

Nine-year-old gelding showed improvement last start. 3rd (Fr4) over 1609m at Bangor Raceway, beaten 5 m by Oh Beach Please (1:58.20) in NW1500L4CD on September 12 at $2.60. The race before was not as impressive when well beaten into eighth behind No Guts No Glory at this track over 1609m in a NW3000CD on August 31 at $107.30. Form reads okay, but out of his depth.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 6th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track, beaten 9 m by Bang Ah Uey (1:52.00) in NW3000CD on September 14 at $6.70. The run before 8th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track beaten 25 m by Sundown Kid (1:52.00) in NW6000CD on September 8 at $60. Anticipating a much better performance this time.
