Plainridge Racecourse Race 8 - Race 8 - 1609m
CALL ME MAVERICK (5) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 4 metres from the winner in fourth over 1609m at this track. Good enough to take out a race like this. WARRAWEE YALE (2) ran fourth last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 13 metres. Capable of playing a major role so has to be respected. JETTINGTOMALIBU (1) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish third at this track over 1609m. Genuine threat. SWEET STREET LOU (6) has been about the mark of late and must be respected, the latest offering a sound fifth at this track over 1609m.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Set Shot at this track over 1609m in a NW9000CD on September 22 at $18.80. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing third behind Anvil Hands at this track over 1609m in a STR ALL on October 2 at $4.80. Rates highly. Big chance.

Eight-year-old gelding showed improvement last start. Posted a big 5 m win (Fr7) at this track (1:50.30) beating Patrikthepiranha in STR ALL on September 29 at $27.50. The run before was not as impressive when well beaten into fourth behind Sweet Street Lou at this track over 1609m in a STR ALL on September 21 at $50.50. Form reads okay, but out of his depth.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track beaten 4.5 m by Anvil Hands (1:51.00) in STR ALL on October 2 at $4.50. Showed ability the outing before when he posted a big 4.5 m win as favourite (Fr1) at this track (1:51.40) beating Head Honcho in STR ALL on September 21 at $2.50. Forward showing expected.

Has been racing well this preparation and showed plenty of improvement following September 22 run. Just managed to hang on and win won by a 0.9 m (Fr8) at this track (1:51.40) beating Mach Seelster in NW6000CD on October 2 at $10.80. This race will be harder than that win. Will need plenty of improvement to feature.
