Plainridge Racecourse Race 1 - Race 1 - 1609m
CAVIART WAR ROOM (5) missed the placings for the second time in a row at the most recent outing when 16 metres away in fifth over 1609m at this track. Recent form includes a win at this track three starts back on September 24. Meets a comparable field and he is capable of a much better performance. PONDA ROCKY (4) produced a good effort at his latest run to get home by a narrow margin over 1609m at this track on October 23. This looks a sterner test than last time but he is capable of another big performance. BIG BOX HANOVER (2) finished fifth last start over 1609m at Saratoga. Generally runs very well at this circuit so can play a big role. HEAVENS PIC (3) disappointed last time but is a chance based on a good third over 1609m at this track two runs back.

Brings the right form to the table. Won by 1.5 m (Fr2) at this track (1:54.30) beating He Hunts in NW4000CD on October 23 at $2.70. Two runs back 3rd (Fr4) over 1609m at this track, beaten 3 m by Wicked Fun (1:55.10) in NW4000CD on October 15 at $2. Can't see him troubling these.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr7) over 1609m at Saratoga, beaten 7 m by Duke Lavictoire (1:56.40) in N10001L5CD on October 19 at $4.79. Showed ability the outing before when he won by 9 m as favourite (Fr4) at Saratoga (1:56.00) beating Secret Or Not in NW7500L5CD on September 21 at $1.29. Makes plenty of appeal.

Last start 6th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track beaten 16 m by Unevergonnagethis (1:54.00) in NW10000CD on October 23 at $3.10. Before that, a game effort when 3rd (Fr5) over 1609m at this track beaten 1.5 m by Malibu Kid (1:54.10) in NW10000CD on October 15 at $2. Should be right in the finish.

Four-year-old gelding is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track both over 1609m. Last start won by a neck (Fr2) at this track (1:55.00) beating Seven Sins in NW6000CD on October 23 at $5.60. No reason he cannot chalk-up the hat-trick.

Recent form below what he is capable of. Last start 5th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 16 m by Unevergonnagethis (1:54.00) in NW10000CD on October 23 at $5. The run prior 5th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track, beaten 21 m by Wall Street Edge (1:54.40) in NW10000CD on October 8 at $1.30. Happy to give him another try in this suitable contest.

Last start 4th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track, beaten 9 m by Unevergonnagethis (1:54.00) in NW10000CD on October 23 at $7.60. Two runs back 6th (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, beaten 19 m by Malibu Kid (1:54.10) in NW10000CD on October 15 at $11.20. Preferred in something easier.
