Plainridge Racecourse Race 8 - Race 8 - 1609m
COLT BENNETT (3) is racing well with seven top-five finishes in succession, the latest effort a second at this track over 1609m. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. His recent form is good enough to put him right in the finish. SEAFOOD NEIGHNEIGH (7) finished seventh last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 11 metres, after a modest eighth at this track the run prior. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position. Meets a comparable field and he can make amends. CAPTAIN TELL (6) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 4.5 metres at this track over 1609m. ROLLWITHHOTTYTODDY (5) has been about the mark of late and must be respected, the latest offering a sound fourth at this track over 1609m.

Last start 4th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track, beaten 7 m by Captain Tell (1:52.40) on September 29 at $1.80. Two runs back 2nd (Fr5) over 1609m at this track, beaten 1.5 m by Enforcer (1:52.20) on September 21 at $2.80. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten.

Mixing form recently. Last start was 3rd (Fr1) over 1609m at this track, beaten 8 m by Major Betts (1:52.10) on September 29 at $9.10. Before that beaten 11 metres, seventh at this track over 1609m 12500CL on September 22. Doesn't pose a threat.

Fair performance when beaten by 5 m finishing second behind Swifty Run at this track over 1609m in a STR ALL on September 21 at $27.70. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing second behind Major Betts at this track over 1609m on September 29 at $5.40. Going along well. Top prospects.
