Plainridge Racecourse Race 2 - Race 2 - 1609m
ONCE UPON LINDY (4) made it three wins on the trot when he scored by 4.5 metres last time out here at this trip. Finds a tougher race but he has the ability to test this field. TWO FIFTY (3) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when second at this track over 1609m. Must be included. MAXMAN (5) is the best of the rest after finishing fourth over 1609m at this track last time out. Something for the Multiples: SPARKLING LINDY (1)

Recent efforts have been impressive. Last start won by 4 m as favourite (Fr5) at this track (1:56.00) beating Two Fifty in MASS STK on October 5 at $2. Major player with the help of the ace draw.

Fair run when beaten by 4 m finishing second behind Sparkling Lindy at this track over 1609m in a MASS STK on October 5 at $3.10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second behind Once Upon Lindy at this track over 1609m in a MASS STK on October 19 at $4.40. Chief contender.

Comes here in the right form. Won by 4.5 m as favourite (Fr3) at this track (1:55.20) beating Two Fifty in MASS STK on October 19 at $1.30. Two runs back posted a big 40 m win (Fr3) at this track (1:57.00) beating Pendulum in MASS STK on October 5. Well placed, should prove hard to beat.

Well-beaten 10 days ago at this track over 1609m, and two back 4th (Fr4) over 1609m at this track, beaten 30 m by Sparkling Lindy (1:56.00) in MASS STK on October 5 at $47.10. Difficult to enthuse based on recent efforts.
