Plainridge Racecourse Race 5 - Race 5 - 1609m

BACCHUS BLUE CHIP (2) drew a wide gate last start and was never a genuine threat, beaten 60 metres into seventh at Vernon Downs over 1609m. Finds a tougher race but from a far better starting position he has the ability to test this field. TAKES COURAGE (4) recent form has been excellent. Scored at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, getting home by 6 metres. Good enough to put himself in the winners' stall. YOU GOTTA GOGOGO (3) is looming as a real threat after a better effort last start, finishing second at this track over 1609m. FLINT MCCULLOUGH (5) must be respected after scoring last start by 10 metres at this track over 1609m.

Been racing consistently with 3 consecutive minor placings. Fair effort last start 3rd (Fr4) over 1609m at this track, beaten 9 m by Bacchus Blue Chip (1:54.20) in MASS STK on September 28 at $37. Not keen.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (Fr7) over 1609m at Vernon Downs beaten 60 m by Global Choice (1:50.30) in BIGAPPLE-E on October 2 at $3.98. Showed ability the outing before when he won by 1.5 m as favourite (Fr3) at this track (1:54.20) beating Bastonata Bluechip in MASS STK on September 28 at $1.20. Should be right in the finish.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing fourth behind Bacchus Blue Chip at this track over 1609m in a MASS STK on September 28 at $60.20. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing second behind Takes Courage at this track over 1609m in a MASS STK on October 5 at $4.10. Has the right credentials to take this out.

Two-year-old colt is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track both over 1609m. Last start won by 6 m as favourite (Fr3) at this track (1:54.10) beating You Gotta Gogogo in MASS STK on October 5 at $1.40. Going very well and deserves top billing.

Hard to fault of late. Last start won by 10 m (Fr3) at this track (1:54.20) beating Vera in ROMPER RM on October 12 at $4.70. Sure to be thereabouts.

Last start 3rd (Fr5) over 1609m at this track beaten 6 m by Takes Courage (1:54.10) in MASS STK on October 5 at $4.10. Two runs back 5th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track beaten 12 m by Bacchus Blue Chip (1:54.20) in MASS STK on September 28 at $18.80. Finds a few better. Can't recommend.
