Plainridge Racecourse Race 9 - Race 9 - 1609m
BILL BAUER (3) finished second at his most recent outing, beaten 4 metres, in a far better performance at this track over 1609m. Has the benefit of a good draw. Recent efforts are good enough to take out a race like this. COMEONOVER HANOVER (1) finished third at this track two runs ago before finishing third at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 4 metres. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Meets a comparable field and he can figure in the finish. SWAN FAITH (4) didn't do a bad job when fifth over 1609m at this track last time out. VALYRIAN STEEL (7) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 8 metres at Bangor Raceway over 1609m.

Two back was well beaten into third behind Lightningfast at this track over 1609m in a NW4000CD on September 10 at $3. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing third behind Six Pack Tony at this track over 1609m in a NW4000CD on September 17 at $3.80. In the mix from the inside draw.

Didn't do much last time out, 6th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track, beaten 9 m by Six Pack Tony (1:55.30) in NW4000CD on September 17 at $55.30. Before that 9th (Fr4) over 1609m at this track beaten 30 m by Joyous Spirit (1:55.40) on August 27 at $18.30. Will struggle to compete against the top handful.

Improved last start with a solid effort when 2nd (Fr4) over 1609m at this track, beaten 4 m by Just Roxy (1:54.00) in NW6000CD on September 17 at $4.50. Has the right credentials to take this out.

Last start was well beaten into fifth behind Lightningfast at this track over 1609m in a NW4000CD on September 10 at $6. Performed better the start before with a solid effort when 2nd (Fr1) over 1609m at this track, beaten 6 m by Creative Venture (1:54.30) on September 3 at $2.90. Rates highly. Big chance.
