Plainridge Racecourse Race 8 - Race 8 - 1609m
BILL BAUER (2) tailed-off last start at this track but had a legitimate excuse. Ready to atone for that result in this suitable race. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Ideally placed and is sure to be there at the finish. CONSUS VICTORY (5) continued his impressive run of recent efforts last time out when runner-up over 1609m at this track, beaten 4 metres. Facing a tougher assignment but he is capable of running another big race. PONDA ROCKY (3) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 5 metres at this track over 1609m. GRATEFUL (4) is worth some thought after his last-start fifth over 1609m at this track on October 15. Something for the Multiples: WICKED FUN (7)

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Dryden Hanover at this track over 1609m in a NW6000CD on September 24 at $6.80. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing third behind Just Roxy at this track over 1609m in a NW6000CD on October 15 at $26.80. In the mix from the inside draw.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track, beaten 9 m by Just Roxy (1:54.20) in NW6000CD on October 15 at $3.30. Showed ability the outing before when he won by a 0.6 m as favourite (Fr6) at this track (1:54.20) beating Wendell Blue Chip in NW4000CD on October 8 at $2.70. Not out of the equation.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 4 m second behind Just Roxy at this track over 1609m NW6000CD last start. Before that was beaten 4 metres fourth again at this track in NW10000CD on October 8. Winning chance.

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start won by 2.25 m (Fr1) at this track (1:55.10) beating Poppy Wow in NW4000CD on October 15 at $5.70. Hasn't done much wrong recently, but this will test.

Last start 5th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track, beaten 15 m by Malibu Kid (1:54.10) in NW10000CD on October 15 at $35. Two runs back won by a 0.8 m (Fr3) at this track (1:54.40) beating Feeling Optimistic in NW10000CD on October 8 at $18.90. May find this too tough.
