Plainridge Racecourse Race 2 - Race 2 - 1609m
HARD TO FORGET (7) did a good job to finish second two starts ago then recorded a comfortable victory last start, scoring by 15 metres over 1609m at this track. Has to contend with a very wide draw. Meets a comparable field so he can certainly make it two on the bounce. BEANTOWN DRAGON (2) finished eighth two starts ago then registered an effortless win last start, scoring by 9 metres over 1609m at this track. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Big chance in this comparable race. MANADOR (3) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. RALPHNEDDIE (5) is close to a win after two successive placings, the latest a second over 1609m at this track.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track, beaten 15 m by Hard To Forget (1:51.30) in MASS STK on September 29 at $8.80. Showed ability the run before when he 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. Keep him in mind.

Solid run when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second behind Uff Da at this track over 1609m in a NW2PMLT on September 14 at $7.10. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second behind Hard To Forget at this track over 1609m in a MASS STK on September 29 at $7.20. Genuine contender in this suitable contest.
