Plainridge Racecourse Race 9 - Race 9 - 1609m
TORRID SAINT A (2) added to his recent string of strong performances last start when runner-up over 1609m at this track, beaten 9 metres. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Big chance in this comparable race. ODDS ON LAUDERDALE (9) scored a decisive win last time out over 1609m at this track, getting home by 10 metres in an impressive display. Must overcome a very wide draw. Leading hope in a similar race. ALLUNEEDISFAITH N (1) is in the mix following a respectable third at his first run back over 1609m at this track. SOLESSEO MATUCA A (5) is the best of the rest after finishing fifth over 1609m at this track last time out.

Second-up here following a spell. Good run when 3rd (Fr1) over 1609m at this track, beaten 5 m by Galactic Storm (1:51.10) in NW6000CD on September 15 at $11. Capable of taking this out with that first-up run out of the way.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing second behind Sundown Kid at this track over 1609m in a 12500CL on August 31 at $3.30. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing second behind Odds On Lauderdale at this track over 1609m in a 12500CL on September 8 at $1.70. Capable of a strong showing.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track, beaten 18 m by Odds On Lauderdale (1:51.40) in 12500CL on September 14 at $4. Showed ability the run before when he won by 1.5 m (Fr1) at Tioga Downs (1:52.20) beating Double My Chips in NW3001-4 on August 29 at $2.51. Forward showing expected.

Finding it hard to put a couple of good runs together. Last start was 3rd (Fr2) over 1609m at this track beaten 13 m by Odds On Lauderdale (1:51.40) in 12500CL on September 14 at $13.70. Before that beaten 15 metres, fifth at this track over 1609m 12500CL on September 8. Not likely to feature.

11-year-old entire is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track both over 1609m. Last start posted a big 10 m win as favourite (Fr3) at this track (1:51.40) beating Wichita Lineman in 12500CL on September 14 at $2.30. No reason he cannot chalk-up the hat-trick.
