Plainridge Racecourse Race 8 - Race 8 - 1609m
WYATT EARP (4) has been very good of late. Scored two back at this track then lined up for a hat trick and finished 8 metres from the winner in second over 1609m at this track at the latest run a week ago. Tackles a similar assignment and he can bounce back to winning ways. SANDPIPER N (2) drew a wide gate last start and was never a genuine threat, beaten 16 metres into sixth at this track over 1609m. Likely to get all the favours from this better draw. Meets a similar line up and he can figure in the finish. BOOGY WOOGY J (6) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 4.5 metres at this track over 1609m. FINNBAR (1) is the best of the rest after finishing runner-up over 1609m at this track last time out.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Clearwater Courage at this track over 1609m on October 6 at $14.30. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing second behind Alvin Brickrock at this track over 1609m on October 13 at $6.10. In the mix from the inside draw.

Last start was well beaten into sixth behind Lou Ed Zeppelin at this track over 1609m on October 20 at $18.30. Performed better the start before with a solid effort when 3rd (Fr1) over 1609m at this track beaten 7 m by Instant Replay (1:51.10) in 8000CLHC on October 13 at $19.60. Has the ability to play a major role.

Didn't do much last start, 9th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track beaten 65 m by Wyatt Earp (1:51.30) on October 13 at $65.60. Before that 8th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 75 m by Noted (1:52.20) on September 21 at $78. Better off investing elsewhere.
