Plainridge Racecourse Race 6 - Race 6 - 1609m
HARD TO FORGET (6) made it two in a row last start when he got the cash by 4 metres over 1609m at this track. Facing a tougher assignment but he is good enough to take this out. BEANTOWN MIKI (4) continued a strong run of recent form and deserved his success last time out, scoring by 6 metres over 1609m at this track. Taking on a better field but he is capable of running another big race. ALTAIR BLUE CHIP (5) comes right into contention after scoring last start by 1.5 metres at this track over 1609m. BEANTOWN DRAGON (7) is the best of the rest after finishing third over 1609m at this track last time out.

Well beaten last start by Hard To Forget, a rival who he faces again; when 35 metres fifth at this track over 1609m in a MASS STK race on October 6. Can't see him featuring.

Racing consistently with minor placings at his last two starts at this course. Placed last start 3rd (Fr3) over 1609m at this track, beaten 4.5 m by Lyons Blewbyu (1:53.20) in NW2PMLT on October 12 at $3.30. Before that 2nd (Fr1) over 1609m at this track beaten 4 m by Hard To Forget (1:51.40) in MASS STK on October 6 at $26.40. Hard to envisage a win.

Last start good run when 3rd (Fr2) over 1609m at this track beaten 15 m by Hard To Forget (1:51.40) in MASS STK on October 6 at $3. Two runs back posted a big 9 m win as favourite (Fr6) at this track (1:52.30) beating Alcatraz Blue Chip in MASS STK on September 29 at $1.30. Can build on those solid recent efforts.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing second behind Beantown Dragon at this track over 1609m in a MASS STK on September 29 at $5.40. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second behind Altair Blue Chip at this track over 1609m in a MASS STK on October 6 at $3.10. Sure to play a big role.
