Plainridge Racecourse Race 8 - Race 8 - 1609m
MANADOR (5) has been hard to fault of late and he made it two in a row when successful at his latest appearance over 1609m at Vernon Downs, getting home by 0.9 metres. Meets some better types this time but a big run is on the cards. HARD TO FORGET (2) finished second at Batavia Downs over 1609m last time out, disappointing backers who took the short price. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. This should be an easier assignment so he is a major player. DAYTOREMEMBER (8) is one of the main contenders after winning his past three starts, the latest at Bangor Raceway two weeks ago. Difficult to ignore that sort of form. UFF DA (7) is worth some thought based on his victory over 1609m at this track two runs ago.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Hunting Glory at Yonkers Raceway over 1609m in a NYSS 3CGP on August 13 at $23.60. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing second behind Cooperstown Boy at Batavia Downs over 1609m in a NYSS on August 22. Big run expected.

Three-year-old colt is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at Vernon Downs both over 1609m. Last start won by a 0.9 m as favourite (Fr4) at Vernon Downs (1:53.10) beating Post Malou in NW1251CD on September 19 at $1.93. Recent form hard to fault.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, beaten 25 m by Corbin Hanover (1:51.30) in W3-6PMLT on September 21 at $6. Showed ability the run before when he won by 1.5 m as favourite (Fr5) at this track (1:53.40) beating Ralphneddie in NW2PMLT on September 14 at $1.20. Genuine chance.
