Plainridge Racecourse Race 1 - Race 1 - 1609m
MAXMAN (1) finished sixth at Meadowlands two runs ago before finishing third at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 12 metres. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Meets a similar quality field and is good enough to put himself in the winners' stall. TWO FIFTY (2) put together some minor placings then displayed pleasing improvement last start to score by 6 metres over 1609m at this track on September 28. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. That latest effort is good enough to put him right in the finish. SPARKLING LINDY (5) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when second at this track over 1609m. Must be included. WINGS OF WARNING (4) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish third at this track over 1609m.

Finding it hard to put a couple of good runs together. Last start was 3rd (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, beaten 9 m by Two Fifty (2:01.30) in MASS STK on September 28 at $45.30. Before that beaten 90 metres, seventh at Rosecroft Raceway over 1609m MDSS-2C-L1 on September 24. Looks outclassed.
