Plainridge Racecourse Race 2 - Race 2 - 1609m

CAPTAIN TELL (4) finished second two starts ago then registered a commanding win last time out, scoring by 8 metres over 1609m at this track. His last-start form is good enough to put him right in the finish. BAG PIPE MAJOR (5) continued a strong run of recent form and deserved his victory last start, scoring by 4 metres over 1609m at this track. It doesn't get any easier but he is capable of another big performance. VARNEY (6) has been thereabouts of late and is a great chance to break through. Good effort last time out when he finished third at this track over 1609m. MEADOWBROOK FLASH (3) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.

Two back was well beaten into third behind Smart Guy at this track over 1609m on October 16 at $9.70. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third behind Whata Foolbelieves at this track over 1609m on October 22 at $16.40. Definite winning chance.
