Plainridge Racecourse Race 10 - Race 10 - 1609m
DALE YEAH (6) was successful last start by 4.5 metres in a nice return to form at Meadowlands over 1609m. It doesn't get any easier but he is capable of another big performance. MONTANA GB (4) registered another strong performance last start when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1609m at this track. Good enough to put himself back in the winners' stall. LOCHLAN HANOVER (5) is on the radar after his last-start sixth over 1609m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. SET SHOT (1) must be respected after scoring last start by 0.8 metres at this track over 1609m.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track beaten 12 m by Tualou (1:50.00) in NW12000CD on September 15 at $8.60. Showed ability the outing before when he won by a 0.8 m (Fr2) at this track (1:51.00) beating Virtual Horizon in NW12000CD on September 1 at $3.60. Capable of taking this out.
