Plainridge Racecourse Race 10 - Race 10 - 1609m
PA LUKE (3) was yet again about the mark last time out when runner-up over 1609m at this track, beaten 4.5 metres. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Steps up a level but he is good enough to cope. SET SHOT (1) has recorded two wins and two minor placings from the past five starts. Was again a dominant force last start when he scored over 1609m at this track, getting home by 2.25 metres. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Stepping up a level this time but he is good enough to take this out. WILD BILL WYATT (5) must be considered after he finished runner-up over 1609m at this track a week ago. MR. HUGGINS (7) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at this track over 1609m. Something for the Multiples: VIRTUAL HORIZON (2)

Last start 4th (Fr4) over 1609m at this track beaten 4 m by Courageous Warrior (1:51.00) in NW9000CD on October 19 at $9.70. Two runs back 5th (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, beaten 6 m by Set Shot (1:50.00) in NW12000CD on October 12 at $18.90. Can't see him troubling these.

Last start good run when 2nd (Fr1) over 1609m at this track beaten 4.5 m by Just Givener (1:49.00) in W3-6PMLT on October 16 at $1.05. Two runs back won by 24 m as favourite (Fr6) at this track (1:49.20) beating D A Lets Dance in W3-6PMLT on October 9 at $1.70. Plenty to like about his prospects.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 30 m by Hunting Zone (1:49.30) in NW12000CD on October 19 at $40.30. Showed ability the run before when he won by a 0.9 m (Fr8) at this track (1:50.00) beating Southpaw in NW12000CD on September 15 at $10.60. Wasn't at his best last time - can improve.

Solid run when beaten by 2.25 m finishing second behind Set Shot at this track over 1609m in a NW12000CD on October 12 at $2.20. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second behind Courageous Warrior at this track over 1609m in a NW9000CD on October 19 at $1.90. Should be right in the finish.
