Plainridge Racecourse Race 5 - Race 5 - 1609m
TH KAY C CRUNCH (5) finished third last start over 1609m at Bangor Raceway, beaten 12 metres, after scoring at the previous appearance over 1609m at this track. Leading hope if things go his way. SWEET JEFF (1) finished fourth last start, beaten 16 metres at Bangor Raceway over 1609m. Capable of playing a major role so has to be respected. SWEET STREET LOU (4) was responsible for a better effort last time out when third over 1609m at this track. Should run a big race. JL'S ROCK STAR (3) must be respected after scoring last start by 0.9 metres at this track over 1609m.

Last start was well beaten into fourth behind Massive Speed at Bangor Raceway over 1609m in a FNICHOLS-F on October 17 at $10.30. Performed better the start before with a solid effort when 2nd (Fr4) over 1609m at this track, beaten 1.5 m by Warrawee Yale (1:52.30) in STR ALL on October 9 at $4. Very hard to beat from the inside draw.

Fair performance when beaten by 4 m finishing fifth behind Warrawee Yale at this track over 1609m in a STR ALL on October 9 at $19.60. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing third behind Galactic Storm at this track over 1609m in a STR ALL on October 16 at $4.90. This race appears well within his grasp.

Last start game effort when 3rd (Fr5) over 1609m at Bangor Raceway, beaten 12 m by Massive Speed (1:53.30) in FNICHOLS-F on October 17 at $12.10. Two runs back won by 2.25 m (Fr5) at this track (1:52.40) beating Jl's Rock Star in NW6000CD on October 9 at $7.40. Definite winning chance.

Last start 4th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track, beaten 9 m by Galactic Storm (1:50.30) in STR ALL on October 16 at $32.10. Two runs back 6th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track, beaten 4.5 m by Warrawee Yale (1:52.30) in STR ALL on October 9 at $21.10. Might find this lot a bit smart.
