Plainridge Racecourse Race 7 - Race 7 - 1609m
PA LUKE (6) is in good form with top-five finishes at his last eight starts, most recently recording a third over 1609m at Pocono Downs. Finds a nice race and will take plenty of beating once more. D A LETS DANCE (5) gave his opponents no chance last start when he cruised to a 13 metres victory over 1609m at this track. Must raise the bar but another win is not out of the question. NO GUTS NO GLORY (4) is looming as a real threat after a better effort last start, finishing second at this track over 1609m. CORBIN HANOVER (7) disappointed last time but is a chance based on a good win over 1609m at this track two runs back.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing fourth behind Call Me Maverick at this track over 1609m in a NW9000CD on September 15 at $16.30. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing second behind Surreal Spirit at this track over 1609m in a W3-6PMLT on October 1 at $9.20. Looks ready to win again.

Solid run when a close second behind Sonofanutcracker at Pocono Downs over 1609m in a W3-5PM on September 19 at $3.70. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Another C Note at Pocono Downs over 1609m in a SIMPSON on September 26 at $7.70. This race appears well within his grasp.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 80 m by Surreal Spirit (1:52.00) in W3-6PMLT on October 1 at $2.60. Showed ability the run before when he won by 6 m (Fr4) at this track (1:51.30) beating D A Lets Dance in W3-6PMLT on September 21 at $3.60. A better showing expected.
