Plainridge Racecourse Race 4 - Race 4 - 1609m
MCMIKENMIKE (4) has been racing well of late. Finished second at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 2.25 metres. Big chance based on those recent efforts. MISTER NICE CAPT'N (7) resumes from a spell of 11 weeks after closing off last campaign in good form, the last run being a solid second over 1609m at this track. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. Well-placed to take this out. ROCKER LINDY (2) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at Mohawk Park. LINDY ON STAGE (6) is a chance after finishing in the money for the second time in a row last start, beaten 2.25 metres into second at Bangor Raceway.

Two back was well beaten into eighth behind Tanya's Joy at this track over 1609m on September 24 at $27.60. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Highest Mountain at this track over 1609m in a ROMPER RM on October 15 at $23. Has the ability to take this out.

Solid performance when beaten by 2.25 m finishing third behind Just Foolin at this track over 1609m on October 8 at $2.80. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing second behind Fog Watch at this track over 1609m on October 15 at $4.60. Definite winning chance.

Didn't do much last start, 5th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 50 m by Just Foolin (1:59.30) on October 8 at $23.20. Before that 8th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track, well beaten by Divine Melody (1:56.40) on October 1 at $22.60. A top-three finish would surprise.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 2.25 m second behind Storm Bringer at Bangor Raceway over 1609m NW1500L4CD last start. Before that was beaten 3 metres second at this track same class on September 24. Racing well and worth each-way consideration.

First up. At the last run he good run when 2nd (Fr5) over 1609m at this track beaten 1.5 m by Conservative Plan (1:56.20) in NW1PMLT on August 4 at $5. Has the right credentials to take this out.
