Plainridge Racecourse Race 6 - Race 6 - 1609m
HESPOISEDTOPOUNCE A (5) was responsible for a far better performance last time out when runner-up over 1609m at this track, beaten 1.5 metres. His recent form is good enough to win a race of this calibre. COLT BENNETT (7) finished third last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 5 metres, after a good win at this track the run prior. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Primary contender if anywhere near his best. MAJOR BETTS (4) is the next best after finishing third over 1609m at this track last time out. MEADOWBROOK FLASH (6) is worth some thought after his last-start fourth over 1609m at this track on October 12.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Major Betts at this track over 1609m on September 29 at $10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing third behind P A Piper at this track over 1609m on October 13 at $2.60. One of the key runners.

Racing consistently with minor placings at his last two starts at this course. Placed last start 2nd (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, beaten 4 m by Bag Pipe Major (1:52.20) on October 13 at $5.70. Before that 3rd (Fr4) over 1609m at this track beaten 4 m by Colt Bennett (1:54.10) on October 6 at $13.80. Would rather see in something easier.

Fair performance when beaten by 6 m finishing sixth behind Swifty Run at this track over 1609m in a STR ALL on October 6 at $3.60. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second behind Quentin Quarantino at this track over 1609m in a STR ALL on October 12 at $2.40. Can improve. Top chance.
