Plainridge Racecourse Race 4 - Race 4 - 1609m

DEAD MANS CHAIN (3) finished second last start over 1609m at Saratoga, beaten 14 metres. That was an improvement on the unplaced effort at this track the run before. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Taking on a better line-up this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. D A LETS DANCE (4) was yet again about the mark last time out when runner-up over 1609m at this track, beaten 6 metres. This doesn't look as hard so he is set to continue his impressive recent form. TAHUNANUI (1) is a great chance after a string of sound recent performances, the latest a solid fourth at this track over 1609m. Hard to find fault. LYONS BLEWBYU (7) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.

Solid run when beaten by 1.5 m finishing fourth behind Luca Bay at this track over 1609m in a W2-5PMLT on September 14 at $6. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing second behind Corbin Hanover at this track over 1609m in a W3-6PMLT on September 21 at $3. Strong winning hope.
