Plainridge Racecourse Race 8 - Race 8 - 1609m

BACCHUS BLUE CHIP (1) made it two wins from his last three starts when he scored by 13 metres on October 19 over 1609m at this track. Has the benefit of a good draw. Must raise the bar but he has the ability to test this field. BASTONATA BLUECHIP (9) has been racing very well of late and went close again last time over 1609m at this track, finishing second and 16 metres from the winner. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Taking on a better field but he is capable of running another bold race. TAKES COURAGE (4) is in the mix following a respectable second at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. STING ME (8) is the next elect off a last-start win by 16 metres at this track over 1609m.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Takes Courage at this track over 1609m in a MASS STK on October 5 at $4.10. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Bacchus Blue Chip at this track over 1609m in a MASS STK on October 19 at $10.40. Should be right in the finish.
