Plainridge Racecourse Race 9 - Race 9 - 1609m

NEGOTIATOR (4) was out of the money two runs back at this track then was at his best last start to score by 9 metres over 1609m at the same circuit. This looks a sterner test than last time but he is good enough to take this out. BLANK STARE (5) finished second last start over 1609m at Pocono Downs, beaten 4 metres, after a good win at Tioga Downs the run prior. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is up to the challenge. KILL A DRAGON (2) must be considered after he finished runner-up over 1609m at this track a week-and-a-half ago. FORWARD LOOK (8) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Galactic Storm at this track over 1609m in a NW6000CD on October 2 at $4.50. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Mach Seelster at this track over 1609m in a NW6000CD on October 9 at $5.40. Has the ability to take this out.
