Plainridge Racecourse Race 1 - Race 1 - 1609m
FULL METAL JACKET (4) finished fifth last start, beaten 16 metres at this track over 1609m. This should be an easier assignment so he is sure to prove tough to beat. PRICE CONTROL (5) ran sixth last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 6 metres. Expected to run well. BLANK STARE (1) is on the radar after his last-start fourth over 1609m at this track a week ago. JM'S DELIGHT (2) could only finish sixth over 1609m at this track most recently. Open to improvement and is in the mix.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 3 m fourth behind Swifty Run at this track over 1609m NW9000CD last start. Before that was beaten 4 metres second at Pocono Downs in NW9000L5 on October 3. Racing well and not without merit.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 5th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track, beaten 16 m by Hunting Zone (1:49.30) in NW12000CD on October 19 at $9.50. The run previous 8th (Fr2) over 1609m at Saratoga, beaten 9 m by Mydadsaid (1:54.00) in WO/OPENHCP on October 10 at $8.21. No surprise to see him bounce back to form.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 6th (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, beaten 6 m by Courageous Warrior (1:51.00) in NW9000CD on October 19 at $10.30. The start before 5th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track beaten 5 m by Lochlan Hanover (1:50.30) in NW9000CD on October 12 at $3. Good enough to make amends in this line-up.

Brings the right form to the table. Won by a 0.9 m (Fr1) at this track (1:51.30) beating Negotiator in NW9000CD on October 19 at $6.10. Two runs back 3rd (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, beaten 1.5 m by Lochlan Hanover (1:50.30) in NW9000CD on October 12 at $15.50. This looks too tough.
