Plainridge Racecourse Race 10 - Race 10 - 1609m

ER GRIFFIN (2) filled a minor placing at this track two runs ago before finishing third at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 7 metres. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Big chance if he is at his best. SANDPIPER N (7) ran third last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 7 metres. Expecting a very good run. LOU ED ZEPPELIN (5) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at Bangor Raceway over 1609m. Genuine threat. D A WICKED SHINE (1) could only finish eighth over 1609m at this track most recently. Open to improvement and is in the mix.
