Plainridge Racecourse Race 11 - Race 11 - 1609m
TORRID SAINT A (4) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 1609m at this track, finishing second and just 0.9 metres from the winner. Meets some better types this time but a win is not out of the question. LIFES A PUZZLE (7) disappointed backers last time out when seventh, beaten 16 metres, over 1609m at this track. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position. His recent effort is not a true indication. Good enough to take out a race like this. ARDEN MESSI N (1) is the next elect off a last-start win by 3 metres at Philadelphia over 1609m when fresh from a spell. BAG PIPE MAJOR (3) is the next elect off a last-start win by 4 metres at this track over 1609m.

Last start won by 3 m (Fr8) at Philadelphia (1:54.30) beating Bet A Bundle in NW2500L5 on October 11 at $4.20. Must be considered in this sort of form.

Racing consistently with minor placings at his last two starts at this course. Placed last start 3rd (Fr1) over 1609m at this track beaten 3 m by Swifty Run (1:53.30) in STR ALL on October 6 at $4.10. Before that 3rd (Fr4) over 1609m at this track, beaten 10 m by Hollywood Skeeter (1:50.30) in STR ALL on September 29 at $20. Not doing enough.

Last start solid effort when 2nd (Fr5) over 1609m at this track, beaten 0.9 m by Instant Replay (1:51.10) in 8000CLHC on October 13 at $1.80. Two runs back won by 3 m (Fr5) at this track (1:51.40) beating General Montana in 10000CLHC on October 2 at $3.40. Looks the testing material.

Didn't do much at the last run, 5th (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, beaten 12 m by Negotiator (1:52.20) in NW4000CD on October 9 at $8.60. Before that 4th (Fr1) over 1609m at Pocono Downs beaten 13 m by Hugh Heston (1:52.30) in NW5500L5 on September 29 at $6.30. Better off investing elsewhere.

Brings the right form to the table. Won by 1.5 m (Fr1) at this track (1:52.10) beating Hespoisedtopounce in STR ALL on October 12 at $2.90. Two runs back 4th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 4.5 m by Swifty Run (1:53.30) in STR ALL on October 6 at $14.70. Can't recommend.
